Program InformationUndergraduate Courses These courses are generally available to both music majors and non-music majors under the appropriate numbers as indicated. MUS-Z 361 / MUS-K361 Introduction to MIDI and Computer Music provides an overview of MIDI and digital audio. It is offered every semester, including Summer Session II, and is available to both music majors (K 361) and non-majors (Z 361). MUS-N 468 Topics in Music Information Technology. Offered spring 2007 as "Music Informatics." Non-music majors should enroll in INFO-I 400 (class number 27764). Graduate CoursesGraduate courses in the Music Information Technology program are intended to give students an overview of issues of importance to music information delivery and processing. Some courses are cross-listed in the School of Informatics. Any combination of graduate courses in Music Information Technology may be used toward a doctoral minor, a master's outside area, or as electives. Selected courses may also be of interest to students in Cognitive Science, Informatics, Instructional Systems Technology, Information Science, and other non-music programs. Students enrolled in the MIT minor are required to complete a portfolio. Please refer to the guidelines for preparing the portfolio. For information about enrollment in the minor, contact Prof. Eric Isaacson (isaacso@indiana.edu). FacultyDonald Byrd, Visiting Eric J.
