<p>My sister is an audio engineer. She attended Berklee and speaks highly of the program there. However, as bassdad said, there are a lot of math & physics courses involved. Even now, 20 years out of school. she has to keep up with the constant changes in the field. She is constantly taking classes and teaching herself new technologies.<br>
If your brother is not a self-motivated student, this is probably not the best choice of major for him. It is also very hard to get a job in the field right out of school, so to be employable, he would need to do well in school. Once you have the job, it is the kind of job that requires crazy hours… she was at work until 3 am the other night… people had flown in from all over the country to do a recording and they were not leaving until it was done… It is also a lot of nights and weekends because that is when concerts take place that need to be recorded. It is also not the most lucrative of field to work in.
Good luck to your brother!</p>
