<p>So I was looking at the course catalog for the local college (Middle Tennessee State, Murfreesboro, TN), and they don't allow double majors for arts/science.</p>
<p>I really want to major in Music Ed., but I would like a practical degree too, like business or economics.</p>
<p>I've looked around and I know that Indiana and Wisconsin both have a program that will let you go arts and get a science. Does anyone know of others? Specifically, I'd like to know if UT-Knoxville and UT-Chattanooga allow this, but any answers help.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Note: I'm not Valedictorian or anything, I have a 3.5 and I scored a 30 on the ACT. I have a part-time job and I'm a section leader in band. I do key club, latin club, and ultimate frisbee club.</p>
<p>My guess is that at MTSU the Music program and the business programs are in different colleges within that university. It is harder to do a double major across college boundaries, but it should be possible if you make a real pest of yourself. The other option is to build your own, possibly undeclared, second major by making careful use of your electives. </p>
<p>Take a good long look at the requirements for the two major fields that you are interested in. How many electives do you have in a music program that could be fulfilled with business courses? How many electives in a business program could be fulfilled with music courses? If you want both full programs, how many extra semesters will you have to spend at MTSU in order to complete both of them?</p>
<p>In Wisconsin, you can take a look at Lawrence University. [Lawrence</a> Admissions - About the Conservatory of Music](<a href=“http://lawrence.edu/admissions/about/conservatory.shtml]Lawrence”>http://lawrence.edu/admissions/about/conservatory.shtml)</p>
<p>UW Madison has an excellent set up for double majoring. They do not have minors so a double major is a practical necessity for less marketable majors like psychology. Even if you can’t complete a major in a different discipline, it would be okay to take much of the coursework anyway and have that training. Part of finance degree isn’t as good as a whole one, but it is better than nothing.</p>
