Kent State University offers a cutting-edge Bachelor of Music program that perfectly harmonizes the art and science of music. Let's go inside!
CANTON, OHIO: when someone says Kent State University, the first thing that comes to mind is the Ohio National Guard opening fire on students demonstrating against the Vietnam War.
On that spring evening, in 1970, shockwaves rippled through American homes and, by the next morning, politicians in Washington, D.C., recognized that not only had statistical hubris lost them the War but also the American public.
Today, however, Kent State University is becoming well known for returning the music discipline to its roots as a science, not an art.
The University offers a first-in-class Bachelor of Science in music technology program in which students learn every aspect of music design, creation and production.
