Schooling options in Utah to obtain a degree in audio engineering are sparse. Relocation might be an option for full time college students, and those who are not already working in their field.
On the upside, if you’re already working in entertainment, some employers will pay for relocation and part of your tuition costs if you are going back to school to further your degree and increase your skills in your field.
