Im not quite on board with it being grouped with “premiere” music schools. It is however one of the few schools that focuses on popular music. It is VERY expensive and has been criticized for being too lax in their entrance requirements. I believe that they have tightened things up a bit. We have one friend who attended and felt that the only students that they valued were the ones that received substantial merit aid. Other schools to consider would be USC–they have a new popular music major in the very reputable Thornton School of Music. Have him check out UNT-(North Texas) as well.
