Re: College double major options

There are plenty of great schools with departments or schools of music where you can avail yourself of the broader services of the university. I didn't double major at Northwestern, but I took every course I possibly could outside the school of music including a heavy concentration in mathematics. I live a dual existence as a musician and a financial professional, and I don't think I've been hurt one bit in either by the approach I took.

Double major is certainly one approach. Another might be to keep your Bachelor program to 4 years, do a single major with a lot of electives, and take that next year or two to get your Masters. I know plenty of smart folks who started on a BM track and went on to everything from law to medicine. If you are smart you will find your way.

Good luck with it!
