<p>A word about the Case/CIM connection: you can only take advantage of CIM’s faculty and facilities if you are enrolled there primarily and then select an academic major from Case, and that is a 5 year program (sometimes can be done in 4 1/2 years). You get a degree from CIM and one from Case.
But, you can double major at Case as they have their own music department and orchestra, but that is completely separate from the conservatory and your degrees come from CWRU.
Baldwin Wallace University is another place where you can study music (they have a completely redone conservatory facility that opened a couple of years ago) and have an academic major as well.</p>
