<p>Hi!
I'm Israeli citizen with B.mus in composition (4 years in Tel-Aviv's Academy of Music) and I would like to continue my MM in composition in US and maybe continue it to doctorate.
At the same time I would like to make BA degree in finance/economics and maybe continue
it to MBA (finance). Is there any school/program out there that can give me double major at MM in composition+BA in finance/economics at the same time?
Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>The combination is not all that common and you would need to check with individual schools to see if they would permit simultaneous undergraduate and graduate study. Some schools with good music departments at the graduate level that also have an undergrad economics department include Arizona State, Boston U, Carnegie Mellon, DePaul, Indiana, Northwestern, Rice, Roosevelt U, Southern Methodist U, Temple U, U Cincinnati. U Hartford, U Illinois Urbana Champaign, U Michigan, UNC Greensboro, U North Texas, U Rochester, U Southern California, U Wisconsin, and Vanderbilt. I do not know if any have the kind of program you are looking for, but this could be a list of schools to start researching.</p>
<p>The trouble with what you're envisioning is that a BA in a US university is not a very specialized degree. You would need to take a lot of classes-- the majority of your coursework, in fact-- outside of finance, which might not really be what you want and would make completion of an MM extremely difficult.</p>
<p>What I would suggest is simply taking undergraduate finance/econ courses at your graduate music institution, and then deciding whether or not an MBA is still of interest. You don't need an undergraduate degree in econ to get into an MBA program.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, great info!</p>

<p>I'll check the list and contact the schools. Thanks a lot for the list! I'm looking for a school in Illinois cause my girlfriend's family resides there as citizens. I think "DePaul" will
fit me and maybe "U of Chicago", "Northwestern", "Indiana U". </p>

<p>Thats a great idea. I'll do MM in composing and take business courses and then MBA. I really don't need general courses cause I've done it already during my B.mus degree.</p>
