The University of Miami sounds right up your alley. They have a degree in audio engineering that is a fully accredited BSEE, but includes lots of audio-related coursework in DSP, acoustics, and plug-in programming to name a few. There is also a program in the music school called Music Engineering (which is what I’m studying) that has a lot of overlap with the Audio Engineering degree, but a bit more emphasis on studio recording and synth programming. However, that requires instrumental study and an audition to get in. It’s also not an accredited engineering degree- it includes a minor in ECE, but a lot of the students who are more serious about hardcore engineering end up double majoring (I’m more into the software/music informatics side of things, so I’m double majoring in CS- I know a couple of Music Engineers doing a dual degree with EE, but this takes more than 4 years). Both programs have a stellar reputation in the audio industry- we routinely send graduates to top audio companies like Shure, Dolby, etc.

PM me if you have any questions- I’d be happy to go into more detail.
