ICIT
I'm excited to announce our new MFA emphasis in Integrated Composition, Improvisation and Technology (ICIT), which merges and replaces our previous MFA emphases in Jazz Studies and Composition/Technology. We are welcoming a full class of new ICIT students in Fall, 2008.
The official pronunciation of ICIT is "I.C.I.T.," but rogue variants include "I See It," "Icy-T," and "Itch It."
