Acouuuuustics

I want to design stuff like this!!!

I think probably the only way to keep me interested in DD would be to do some sort of acoustics-related design.... Althoooough, if I change into Philosophy I have the opportunity to get an Architectural Acoustics minor, which prepares people to take certification in acoustics after just earning the minor! That could mean that I have the opportunity to work for archie firms orrr arch-acoustics firms with only the minor degree.... buuttt if I stay in Architecture alone I won't have this oppportunity annddd even more scary, if I decide I really like acoustics and want to pursue it as my Masters studies.... RPI has the greatest MA in Acoustics... blehh which would mean I "should" just stay at RPI for another year or two!

Also, here's the description for the Acoustics Minor [it's five classes and 19 cr/hrs... but I could fit it in with the Philosophy Major] :

The minor in architectural acoustics is open to all Rensselaer students interested in advanced study focusing on the optimization of acoustical quality of performance spaces and other aurally sensitive environments. After completing the minor, the student will be well prepared for an entry level position dealing with acoustics issues in architectural practice, in acoustical consulting, or as a preparation for graduate studies in acoustics. Approval required by director of program.
