| I would not say it is hard to get in, but your application to both programs will be handled separately. So you may get into one school but not into the other. Ironically, although LSA and Music makes more sense than Engineering and Music, the school of Music at Michigan is located in North Campus, right next to the College of Engineering and a World away from LSA!
As far as the quality of the School of Music, it is considered excellent, but it really depends on what you want to focus on. Overall, Michigan's school of Music is ranked anywhere between #4 and #10 in the nation. | |

| S2530S2....When we were at orientation in June, there were a couple of other students in our small group who were majoring in music AND engineering. I believe the music students were instrumentalists. It is not easy...but it IS done. There would be others with which you could share your double major misery....and joy! | |

| Alexandre...

I'd be curious to see these varied rankings. Do you have a link? | |

| I do not have links unfortunately. I remember the USNWR ranking Michigan #3 or #4 in 2000. Michigan's strengths, if I recall, were in voice, direction and composition. | |

| Based on the 1999 USNews rankings, the music department was ranked 5th overall in the country:
Composition: 2nd
Conducting: 1st
Jazz: 7th
Opera/Voice: 5th
Orchestra/Symphony 4th
Piano/Organ/keyboard: 4th
Here's a Link to rankings of all programs at UM: http://www.umich.edu/~oapainfo/TABLE...A_Rankings.pdf
some are updated to 05' and some go back to 99' but Mich is awesome so I'm sure the ranks didn't fluctuate too much  | |

| Univ. of Michigan School of Music Auditions
I am auditioning for the dual degree program with piano performance and the college of LSA on Jan. 27th. Does anyone know what to expect in the auditions? Anyone know how long it will be? I know we have to have all of the pieces prepared, but do will we have to play the whole program from top to bottom? | |

| er... I believe that CCM ( Concinnati Conservatory of Music) is also up there and maybe regarded higher than some of the schools noted above. | |
