<p>I'm currently a freshman at JHU and am taking lessons at Peabody and courses at the art institute nearby. I want to transfer out from JHU because I want to concentrate on music/design, rather than just dabbling in it. I enjoy those more than creative writing (as found out after first semester ; ) )</p>
<p>I know some transfer deadlines may have already passed, but if anyone could offer top universities that allows either double majoring or major/minoring in music/design, I'd appreciate it greatly!</p>
<p>I think the OP is asking for schools that have an undergraduate graphic design program, a strong music department, some way for a student to coordinate studies in both, and a transfer application deadline that has not yet passed. JHU has an Art History department, but I do not think they offer much in the way of Studio Art, particularly in Graphic Design. Additionally, they only accept a relative handful to the JHU/Peabody double degree program each year and fewer than that manage to complete it.</p>
<p>The following colleges have strong music programs, an undergraduate major in Graphic Design and some form of double degree or double major program: </p>
<p>Boston University
Northwestern University
Susquehanna University
Syracuse University
University of Miami</p>
<p>The following have both programs but I do not know if anything more than a degree in one with a minor in the other would be possible:</p>
<p>Arizona State University
Temple University
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
University of Michigan</p>
<p>I will leave it as an exercise for the OP to look up the transfer deadlines for any of these that are of interest. If a general Studio Art major is of interest rather than specifically Graphic Design, there are many more possibilities.</p>
<p>hey bassdad, thanks very much for those recommended universities. i'm definitely going to look into them, maybe some specific art institutes as well, perhaps -- yeah, the art offerings at jhu are pretty sad, there's typically between 8-10 intro courses per semester ...</p>
<p>s25302s ... lol, yeah ... i go to jhu, i know about the jhu/peabody program ; )</p>
<p>bassdad, re: northwestern univ. i only found a art theory & practice and sound major ... did they use to offer graphic design?</p>
<p>My apologies, pianote. I obtained that list by entering Graphic Design as a major in the college search section on collegeboard.com and then picking out the ones from that list that I know to have good music departments. I did not take the time to check each one individually. </p>
<p>From Northwestern's website it appears that you are correct that they do not currently have a graphic design major available. I do not know whether they used to have one and collegeboard is simply a bit behind the times or whether they never had one and just got put on that list in error.</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>Ahh, I now see the error of my ways. Collegeboard reported that Northwestern College rather than Northwestern University has a graphics design major. I read the name a little too fast. I know nothing about the music department at Northwestern College. My bad not collegeboard's.</p>
<p>To make it up, here is the lowdown on transfer admission deadlines:</p>
<p>Boston University - transfer admission deadline is 4/1 but last piano audition is 2/18.</p>
<p>Susquehanna University - transfer admission deadline is 7/1, last scheduled general audition date is 2/24 but they hold individual auditions into April.</p>
<p>Syracuse University - primary transfer deadline was 1/1 with later applications considered on a space-available basis. Auditions ended 2/1 so this one may no longer be an option for you.</p>
<p>University of Miami - transfer application deadline is 3/1, which is also the priority deadline for auditions.</p>
<p>Arizona State University - transfer application deadline is 6/1. Deadline to register for the last live audition has passed, but they will accepts tapes until 3/1.</p>
<p>Temple University - transfer application deadline for the music department is 3/1. Last scheduled audition is 3/17.</p>
<p>University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign - transfer application deadline is 3/1 and the last audition date is 3/30.</p>
<p>University of Michigan - Last date to apply was 1/15 for a 3/30 audition, so this may be out of the running too.</p>
