Soundproof Walls

I've finally decided I want to study acoustics engineering, but where do I start and where do I aim for?

I haven't found any programs for acoustic engineers; all I know is I need to be studying lots of physics and mathematics. I love music, I've been playing music for 90 percent of my life and I also love math - I thought I finally found a dream job, but I can't find much on Princeton Review or College Review sites on this major / study. Help please! Thank you so much, and Happy New Year!

1. A degree in electrical engineering will probably be your best bet for getting in to a field related to music & technology. I don't believe you will find an accredited program in "acoustic engineering", but you'll get plenty of background in signals, amplifier design, etc with a EE degree.
2. Look into Ole Miss. I know they have an acoustics engineering curriculum and fairly nice research facilities too. Our company does almost all of our acoustics research for NASA and DoD there. Not sure where else to look, but I am sure there are some other candidate universities out there.
3. try electrical engineer and music double major as far as i know, most of the uni's dont offer that major since it is less demanding
4. You may find a cuuriculum in Music Colleges. Most likely you will require extensive study of vibrations (causes sound) and fluid dynamics (air is a fluid), which is found in Engineering cirriculums (mechanical/aerospace engineering).
