Hi,
Just wanted to see if anyone can provide me with any information about Fordham’s Music program at Rose Hill. I was accepted for Music but would like to hear from others about the program before I make any final decisions. There’s not too much out there on the program, which is why I’ve turned here!
You might want to post this on the very helpful music major forum in the “majors” section.
Fordham is, of course, an excellent school and in an excellent location for music. I just looked at the website and the degree there is a BA, which usually means 10 classes in music, out of 40 classes total, with lessons and extracurricular performance opportunities. The site mentions access to Juilliard’s evening division.
Music is studied as a liberal arts/humanities subject but performance is mentioned.
We don’t know what your interests and goals are so it is otherwise hard to comment. But it looks like a great opportunity for someone who wants a BA, not a BM.
(For info on these degrees, you can read the “Double Degree Dilemma” essay under the "Read Me’ thread on the music majors forum, an essay on different ways to study music.)
