<p>Tufts has a BM/BA double major program with NEC. Otherwise, violadad covered everything I was going to say. I second the recommendation of Oberlin and Bard. At Bard, conservatory students are required to do a double degree, and at Oberlin it is optional.</p>
<p>Just want to add what I often post on the music major forum. Music majors can end up doing many different things, in music or in other areas, just like any other holder of a bachelor’s degree. Music majors as a group have the highest acceptance rate to medical school, in fact, at 66% (perhaps an old statistic, but you get the idea).</p>
<p>Is your son going to school for composition or is he an instrumentalist? If a composer, that gives a little more flexibility, and a BA in music might be enough. He can take some music classes, and take some math classes, and explore some other classes too, and then decide.</p>
<p>One other thing. Our daughter is a composer, and she has gotten two wonderful internships, one for the spring, one for the summer and school year 2011-12. She is not particularly a go-getter, either. I don’t want to divulge details, but both employers have well-paid staff who seem to love what they do, and both are related to music.</p>
<p>I live in a town with a major music festival, and last week we held a panel for parents and students, with a variety of people who make a living related to music: critic, piano tuner, music educator, festival director, grant-writer, etc. My daughter also spoke. The whole point was to reassure parents who are worried that a music major will lead nowhere.</p>
<p>Your son has a passion and, no doubt, a talent. Let him explore it, and have faith in his future options. Your worries may be limiting him in some ways. Just my two cents.</p>
