This page offers a partial list of academic institutions that offer significant exposure to the science of acoustics. Because acoustics is a broad, multi-disciplinary field, many institutions offer acoustics courses through various other departments, such as physics, architecture, or a particular discipline of engineering. A few institutions, however, have departments dedicated exclusively to acoustics.
There are also varying degrees of instructional availability with regard to student status, again because acoustics is a broad and complex discipline. Some institutions offer courses to undergraduate-level students, while others primarily offer graduate-level courses.

The Chuck Cunningham Syndrome is a term for when a character in a television show or book disappears and is never mentioned again. The name comes from Chuck, Richie Cunningham's older brother on Happy Days. Can be a major cast change, as a major actor/ actress leaves the show, and is not referred to again. Most often, it occurs when a minor character is no longer deemed necessary to the television show's plot, and the actor/ actress playing the character is sacked.
Examples
* John Burns on Taxi
* Larry Mondello on Leave it to Beaver
* Kate Bradley on Petticoat Junction
* Chuck Cunningham on Happy Days
* Doofus on DuckTales
* Judy Winslow on Family Matters
* Seven on Married... with Children
