dual degree at highly selective schools

<p>It’s doable…I’m attempting it this fall with a BM in piano performance and a BA in History, will add a minor if I can handle it. It might take me 5 years…consider letting your son go 5 years. Be aware that if the school does not have a 5 year program in place already for double degree they may only give a scholarship for 4 years, and the 5th year could be at your own expense entirely- good question to ask. I was able to get mine for 5 years if I need it. </p>

<p>Assuming your son is thinking of a BM in music and a BA in something…what would be the other major? I’ve heard it’s difficult to combine music with a major such as a science major, or any other one that has a lot of credits. </p>

<p>Is your son a junior now?</p>

<p>If you have questions on how a double degree program is working, feel free to send me a private message, and I’ll know more in fall once I’m actually in the program and can say how well it is/isn’t working out.</p>
