Education: Best place for Audio Engineering?

I'm currecntly an undergrad student at the University of Kentucky with a amjor of electrical engineering (and minors in
mechanical engineering and math). I'm very interested in audio
engineering-particularly speaker design- and it has been my goal all along to do graduate work in the audio engineering field. However, I can't really find universities offering programs in the field. There are a great number of professionals in the audio engineering field, and surely these professionals are receiving some type of specialized education
in the field. I'm just wondering, is there some sort of educational haven for audio engineering that I'm just not aware of? Or do people simply do things like interships with corporations? I simply have no idea where to start!

Thanks for your input,

Nicholas,

You should take an independed study and study on your own and maybe you will come up with the great idea on creating a very good speaker.

There are lots of books on speaker designs and since you're becoming an EE with a mix of ME majors you may figure what boock suits you best.

You will also need the basics of acoustics i.e. sound pressure, resonance etc... which I guess you may've went through studying some ME and if not you may figure out when you start reading yourself.
