International relations/Music Performance undergrad

College Majors

<p>I know this is an odd combo, but I want to do both, then, money permitting, go to law school, or become a diplomat, or something along those lines. I 'm set in my ways with wanting to do this though.</p>

<p>So what are good schools for this double major. I already have Johns Hopkins at the top, Peabody institute and a great school of music, but what are others. Is Rice good for IR (I know they have the sheppard school of music)? Does Georgetown have a good music program. I guess Tufts is out unless I want to get the Masters degree they are known for after my undergrad years. I just don't know what schools would be good for this. So a list of the top ten you'd recommend to look into would be nice.</p>

<p>any1 there?</p>

3

<p>try the music major forum and include what instrument</p>

4

<p>There are a lot of schools with good programs in both, you'll have to do your research.</p>

5

<p>My alma mater (Northwestern) offers a dual bachelor's degree in Music and Arts/Sciences. Look for schools that offer that type of dual-degree program.</p>

<p>I don't know, last time I checked the Tufts website, you're allowed to double major in music and IR.</p>

<p>This is from the Music Department on the website:</p>

<p>"The Music Department's flexible program serves (a) those students who would choose music as a major or minor, and (b) all students seeking to develop their musical knowledge and/or performance skills. Students may major in music, double major in music and another field, or minor in music. Music courses fulfill many requirements (Arts Distribution, World Civilizations, International Relations, American Studies, and several interdisciplinary minors). The courses, programs, and facilities of the Music Department are open to all members of the Tufts community."</p>

<p>This is from the IR Department:</p>

<p>"Double Majors
A significant number of IR majors choose to double major- from the May 2008 graduating class, over 50% were double majors. Most students double major in Economics or a foreign language; however, a growing number of students are double majoring in Community Health and History. Additional double majors include: Anthropology, Art History, Asian Studies, Child Development, Comparative Religion, Drama, English, Environmental Studies, Latin American Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Music, Peace and Justice Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Russian/ Eastern European Studies, Sociology, Studio Art, and Women's Studies."</p>

<p>The IR website includes Music, so I'm pretty sure it's possible. I'm actually thinking of applying to Tufts and double majoring in IR and Drama, and it says that people have done that. I'm sure you can do it with Music Performance too. (Although, you still may want to look that up).</p>

<p>nothing helpful to add, but this is exactly what I want to do too! Good luck!</p>
