<p>Please correct me if im wrong but, a double major at NYU is possible if you are in the Tisch BFA MT program? I was unaware of that. Also for NYU, do you apply separately to both the tisch and the other school that has the other major? Or am i just making all of this up haha?</p>
<p>You can double major at both Tisch and Steinhardt. It depends on the credits you bring to the school and what major you chose. Journalism is a common double major. A friend of my daughter is double majoring with math and VP with a concentration in MT. D could have double majored in English, but chose to have 2 minors instead. Steinhardt is offering a new 5 year program: BM in VP (MT or Classical) after 4 years and then a MA Music Ed earned after the fifth year. </p>
<p>You would apply/ audition for the BFA or the BM degree and then declare a double major or minor later.</p>
<p>This is an interesting post which I ironicaly found just when something similar applies to me. I only attended college for 9 months right after High School, then dropped out to pursue a career in the military. I was injured after a bit more than 13 years in, which forced me into early retirement before I was even 40. </p>
<p>But I’m still very active & refuse to sit around … and I love learning. I can honestly say that I have accomplished every major goal I set for myself, and many that I DIDN’T have in mind, but am proud that happened. These include everything from helping raise a large family (5 little ones so far … all girls 
), to wintering over in Antartica, to serving in war. (Might sound strange, but it’s just a family thing. All of us guys fought at some time in our life).</p>
<p>But the one thing missing was finishing up that college degree. I don’t actually NEED it now, since I’m disabled. But as I said, I love learning. As a DAV, I’m fortunate to be able to tap into lots of financial aid, so I finally decided to use it. Next Spring I’ll be going back to college for my Bachelor, perhaps even a Masters.</p>
<p>Since this is more of a “fun” thing, than something intended for a career, I chose a major that I knew I’d have alot of fun with … Music. But I also want to go ahead & throw a Minor in there too … might as well. That’s what is causing me alot of confusion. Which one will work best?</p>
<p>I enjoy Chemistry, History, Geology, Astronomy, & Archaeology. And if it were available, which isn’t very common, I’d like to refine my understanding of Latin. But none of those first 5 seem like they would be very easy to pursue along with a Music major. Music & say, Chemistry, just aren’t related very well. So it seems like one would almost have to take 2 completely different course selections to do any of those. And with a family, I can’t exactly stay at college for 16 hours per day for 4 years.</p>
<p>Latin study MIGHT be somewhat similar to Music, but that’s not offered at any of the 4 colleges I’m looking at, as best I can tell. It’s sorta … well, it IS dead, so no one really speaks it any longer. So there’s just not a huge availability of locations which teach it.</p>
<p>So I think I’ll probably be looking at something like a Theatre minor. That’s close to Music. Maybe Writing or Speech would be also … dunno. A Minor in Art would sure be similar, but I can draw & pain about as good as a 3-year-old & don’t think anyone could teach me how to do it any better, so I can probably write that one off. :)</p>
<p>Anyway, just enjoyed the discussion about this, since it’s at least a bit similar to my own story. Thought I’d throw mine in also.</p>
<p>P.S. I fully realize that some of what I’ve stated above may not be entirely accurate or timely … or possibly not make any sense at all. You’ll just have to forgive me in that case. I’m relatively sure that I’m probably a much older “student” than most of you are. It’s been 20 years since I was in school, so I’m a bit rusty about how it all works. 
:)</p>
<p>P.S.S. I just noticed that “20 years” sounds really old, so I’m changing that to 15 years. No, let’s make it 9 years since I was in school. Yeah, I like the sound of that a little better. :)</p>
