Q: Does the AES provide information on audio/sound educational institutions and recommendations for which programs to attend?
A: The AES only provides a list of audio-related educational institutions that have applied to be included on our website. We do not maintain information regarding the details of application procedures or acceptance requirements for specific schools or programs.
In order to find the information you're looking for, you will have to contact specific schools directly, since we cannot provide you with this info. Some of these schools can be found in the list at www.aes.org. However, this should not be considered to be a complete list of all institutions.
