<p>I’ve been accepted into the School of Engineering, and was wondering if it is possible for me to take elective classes in the music school, as I know this isn’t possible in some schools. Music is a big part of my life, and the ability for me to take a Music class while majoring in Engineering is actually the deciding factor of which school I will accept my offer from.</p>
<p>You can take classes in any department and any school. You can double major in your school and another school too if you like; it is called BUCOP.</p>
<p>Specifically about music, you’d have to read the list of classes because not all are open to non-CFA students. Many music classes are offered through CAS as well and of course those are open, but CFA is a professional school.</p>
<p>You can play in the all school orchestra, for example, but the CFA orchestra (music school) is generally for music students only.</p>
<p>There are a bunch of Music Appreciation or Music History classes that anyone can take. You can also take guitar, piano, singing lessons etc etc etc for 0.5 credits just for fun.</p>
<p>You should try to sort that out at Orientation. I know a girl who got into CAS and transfered to Sargent at Orientation. But they probably make these decisions case by case, so I can’t guarantee you anything.</p>
<p>I’m actually trying to do this exact same thing. I emailed the admissions office and got a reply asking for the school and major I wanted to transfer into. They “cannot guarantee anything, but can certainly have someone from the board of admissions look into it as a possibility.”</p>
