@Bsb22 makes important points, better than I did in my PM.

  1. Terminology varies and you have to delve deeply into the details of each program.

  2. “Music technology” and other terms used in programs may mean a creative focus, or may mean technical/studio work. Or a combo of both.

  3. Some of the programs, particularly those that involve creative or compositional work, will require portfolios and/or auditions. (But it is possible to avoid auditions and still have good options.)

  4. I suggest going over to the music major forum and reading the Double Degree Dilemma essay in the Read Me thread. Although indirectly relevant to OP’s daughter, she will deal with the issue of narrow intense focus versus more general studies, as well as directly vocational versus exploratory/academic.
