<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>I was wondering two things:</p>
<p>1). At Brown, is it true that you can essentially “create” or design your own major of choice? OR, does this mean that you can alter a major’s requirements to make it different?</p>
<p>2). Is the music program at Brown worth looking into for somebody interested in a career in music as a performer or professor?</p>
<p>3). ok, i lied!! I have three things. IF, and only if, you can create or partially design a major at Brown, and the music major is not worth looking into, could somebody MAKE his or her <em>own</em> music major in a sense?</p>
<ol>
<li>Yes if you're willing to make the case to a number of administrators and get the right support. You can also try to alter a major's requirements within the department depending on the people involved and your agument it may work</li>
<li><p>I don't know</p></li>
<li><p>Probably if it is sufficiently interdisciplinary to be beyond the scope of the standard conc</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>Yes</p></li>
<li><p>Performer, probably not. Professor, sure.</p></li>
<li><p>Depends what you want to do... but as fr4edmurtz said, you'd have to convince the administration that you're doing something sufficiently distinct from the existing music degree paths.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>as a performer, depends what you want to do, we have one of the only digital music programs in the nation. However if you are doing more traditional music than I would say there are better programs than Brown's.</p>
