U Michigan SMTD PAT Major compared to Berklee Electronic Music Production and Sound Design

My son would like to be an electronic music producer and does most of his work in Ableton Live. He attended the Berklee 5-week program two summers ago with electronic digital instrument as his focus and loved the experience. He is awaiting RD from Berklee, but has been accepted at UM for the BFA in Performing Arts Technology. We were not able to visit Michigan to learn more about the program and are hoping to hear feedback/comparisons between the PAT major at UM and the EM&SD major at Berklee. We understand these are two very different schools (size, location, etc.) so please focus comments on the programs?

Also, any UM PAT majors on this forum? We hope to visit Ann Arbor during spring break and would love to connect with UM PAT majors (safely) to learn about their perspectives on the program.

Thanks

John
