<p>I need help!!!
I am looking for a non conservatory college that has a good/great musical theater program that will allow me to double major in biochem or allow me to do pre med??? I know I’m picky but whats a person to do?</p>
<p>I would suggest that you visit the Musical Theater forum if you haven’t already. The users are fonts of information about all things musical theater.</p>
<p>At many colleges, you will end up in a double degree rather than a double major – the double degree typically takes 5-6 years.</p>
<p>Depending on your level of preparation, you might consider Oberlin or Lawrence – both conservatories but both support double degree programs. Lawrence does not have a musical theater degree but includes musical theater in its vocal performance program.</p>
<p>Take a look at Ithaca College too. Good luck.</p>
<p>Northwestern.</p>
<p>Check out the Musical Theater Certificate Program:
<a href=“http://www.communication.northwestern.edu/theatre/undergraduate/music/[/url]”>http://www.communication.northwestern.edu/theatre/undergraduate/music/</a></p>
<p>and the American Music Theater Project:
<a href=“http://www.amtp.northwestern.edu/[/url]”>http://www.amtp.northwestern.edu/</a></p>
<p>The latter program is just 2 years old and turning out some great new productions.</p>
<p>I second the rec for Lawrence. There’s a five year program where you have get a double degree in music and another subject but even if you aren’t in the conservatory, the resources are still available to you.</p>
<p>Look at Muhlenberg. Very strong pre-med program with a well deserved reputation for placing graduates in med school. Very strong BA performing arts program (including acting, dance and voice) with a lot of musical theatre opportunities, a very modern performing arts complex and a professional musical theatre summer stock company attached to the school. The school is very flexible about structuring dual majors.</p>
