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 Jackson

Most good products are engineered by experienced engineers with many years of actual field work and product design experience.
Schools will teach you the basics. Seldom a pure  academic would be able to launch a sucessful product and make big bucks. It takes more than school to become a good engineer.
Get an internship with a good company to learn the whole product design cycle.
Make sure that you love what you are doing, if you are going to be good at it.
