[QUOTE="Techster, post: 413336, member: 360"] I can tell you from personal knowledge, a vast majority of the people who do audio and broadcast engineering and/or any cinematography have never seen a Calc book. Most learn through internships or hands on experience volunteering for free. These media/music/film/TV jobs are all about networking, who you know, and putting together experience and demo reels. The top film/TV/music schools in the nation (NYU, USC, UCLA) require at most lower level math for degree requirements. Local schools that cater to those students (GA State, AIU, SCAD) are the same. Sure, taking Calc helps someone understand the science behind signal knowledge, but it doesn't necessarily give that person an advantage over someone who's out there getting experience. I know AIU, SCAD, and GA State all have pipelines into all the local media companies and studios, so it's not like not taking a higher level math or science has hurt their programs. If GT does offer a program, and we are insistent on making it making it heavily academic oriented with Calc and Science, we would not be able to compete with the local schools who offer the same programs without the heavy math and science.
