The Music Industry Arts Program at Fanshawe College trains students for careers in the contemporary music industry.^[1] It was started in 1970 as Creative Electronics by former Radio Caroline DJ Tom Lodge, but when the college demanded that Creative Electronics become a career program, Lodge had the students build a recording studio, gathered music industry executives for an advisory group and changed the name of the program to Music Industry Arts. The program has been the starting point for hundreds of acclaimed recording engineers, record producers, live performers, sound editors and entertainment industry executives. The program is highly competitive, receiving over 800 applications every year with only about 115 students being accepted.^[2] Students in the MIA program are also eligible for membership in a Student Section of the Audio Engineering Society.^[3]
