"News spread earlier this yea r of Portland Community College's plan to close its Music and Sonic Arts (MUC) degree program. This decision by the college comes as part of a broad plan to ensure the college's financial stability going forward. Despite public dissent and protests by faculty, students, and community members, the college plans to follow through with its decision. However, the department's faculty has refused to give up."
"Music and Sonic Arts offers associates degrees and certificates in Music and Sonic Arts, and Creative Coding and Immersive Technologies. The Creative Coding curriculum combines technology with the arts, similar to Stanford's CCRMA program. Students learn how to use hardware microcontrollers and programming languages Max/MSP and TouchDesigner in their artistic practice. The Music and Sonic Arts curriculum bridges the gap between music technology and a more traditional music education, teaching Max/MSP and recording techniques alongside classes in piano, music theory and composition."
Portland Community College will close its Music and Sonic Arts (MUC) degree program as part of a broader fiscal sustainability plan. Music and Sonic Arts offers associate degrees and certificates in Music and Sonic Arts and in Creative Coding and Immersive Technologies. The Creative Coding curriculum combines technology with the arts, similar to Stanford's CCRMA, and teaches hardware microcontrollers, Max/MSP, and TouchDesigner. The Music and Sonic Arts curriculum pairs music technology with traditional music education, including piano, music theory, composition, Max/MSP, and recording techniques. The Fiscal Sustainability Action Plan responds to rising operating costs, higher revenues, and projected deficits, prompting program cuts; faculty and community members have protested while faculty continue to resist.
