<p>Is it possible to Double major At Thornton and The Arts and Sciences college? If so Do I apply for thornton and add the second major later, or do I have to apply for both majors?</p>
<p>Yes but it’s extremely difficult.</p>
<p>Are you trying to get into Thornton as a performance major? Or another music school major (music industry, etc)?</p>
<p>More difficult things have been done. There are a lot of music double majors. If you’re going for performance, you might have to take some summer classes for your GEs and it’ll be slightly difficult, but not unheard of.</p>
<p>You’d apply to Thornton and declare a second major once you begin school. I don’t think it can work if you apply to Dornsife, but I would ask Thornton.</p>
<p>Transfering into Thornton is very difficult since it typically requires an audition and would put you potentially a year behind by the time you would be admitted if you enter USC in a different school. When we were visting USC son’s senior year in high school and had double major discussions with the Thornton admissions officer she said many come in planning to double major but most end up deciding to pursue only music major. My son has followed that pattern. Having said that I think the Dean of Thornton told me his daughter was dating a senior who was completing a double major in music and physics and going to grad school for physics. I think my memory on that is precisely wrong but directionally correct. So some people do double major in music. They probably are very organized, smart and hard working.</p>
<p>Double major acceptance to the arts and science college should generally be doable (was what my son was considering).</p>
<p>OP, you may want to consider a major and minor, instead of 2 majors. Its very hard to schedule science[ and math] and music classes together every semester, as most lower division classes have both lecture and lab components, and one or the other of them always seem to conflict with music classes. My son gave up his intended music minor because of this, but was able to take lessons and some music classes [ when his schedule allowed] because he had shown, with his lessons at USC, that he had the chops for a music minor.</p>
