<p>If you get into peabody, does that mean you can also major in other areas outside your instrument at john hopkins. (i.e. philosophy, literature)</p>
<p>No. You can take courses at Johns Hopkins - the Homewood campus - but you can not complete a major. Students who want to complete a major in Arts and Sciences or Engineering have to apply to Hopkins, be admitted, and also be admitted to the double degree program.</p>
<p>Hopkins and Peabody are separate schools.</p>
<p>im not talking about the engineering im talking about music and literature or philosophy. i guess the question is are these both considered art related programs?</p>
<p>You can take courses (literature or philosophy) at Johns Hopkins as a Peabody student at the Homewood campus - but you *can not * complete a major without applying separately.</p>
<p>Like Daniel and WealthofInformation said, admissions to both schools is separate, so you can't major in both schools unless you've been admitted to both through the dual degree program. However, since both are part of the Hopkins system, you can cross-register for classes pretty easily</p>
<p>so how difficult is it to get into the dual major program. I think i have a really good chance at getting into peabody because i no alot of the teachers there and have taken lessons or played in master classes for them, so does admittance into one make it easier to get into the other?</p>
<p>I would suggest you read the music forum thread on "Compare Double Degree Programs." That will give you an idea of the Peabody/JHU double degree program and also similar programs, elsewhere.</p>
<p>I would not count on getting into Peabody because you know a lot of the teachers. That might help if you are borderline, but admissions are determined mainly by competitive auditions and determined also by the number of available positions. As far as I know admission into Peabody does not influence your acceptance into JHU Homewood. You also need to be accepted by both institutions in order to enroll as a double degree student. Very few students are accepted.</p>
<p>Note: there is a difference between double major and double degree. It does appear that you are really interested in double degree, not a double major.</p>
