Whether you are drawn to the healing power of music, the creative potential of AI, or the challenge of leading arts organizations, each program opens pathways that did not exist a decade ago.
The AI & Music Technology and Game Audio certificates are listed as intermediate, meaning you should have solid musical foundations. Prior coding experience is helpful but not required—the programs teach the technical skills you need within a musical context.
This certificate provides foundational knowledge but is not a clinical credential. It is ideal for musicians exploring whether music therapy is the right career path, educators wanting to incorporate therapeutic techniques, or healthcare professionals adding music-based approaches to their practice.
Program length reflects the depth and breadth of each curriculum. The 3-month certificates—Music & Wellness and Music Therapy Introduction—provide focused foundational knowledge. The 6-month programs include more extensive project work, technical training, and portfolio development.
Requirements vary by certificate. Game Audio students will work with industry-standard middleware tools. AI & Music Technology students will use machine learning platforms and DAWs. Specific software lists and any free alternatives are provided during enrollment for each program.
Absolutely. Many students pair a technology or wellness certificate with one from another category. For example, Game Audio pairs well with our Music Production certificates, while Arts Leadership complements any performance certificate for musicians moving into organizational roles.
