Good colleges for BA in Music & BS in science

University of Rochester.

Do music at UR, not at Eastman (which is a conservatory program). UR’s music program has its own ensembles that are only open to River Campus students. University is strong in science, engineering and economics. Plentiful research opportunities for undergrads. Medical school & hospital across the street from campus.

UR has an open curriculum without any mandatory GEs–except for 1 semester of freshman composition. Makes it easy to double major.

The down side–pre-med at UR is very competitive. Approx. 1/3 of all freshmen self-identify as pre-meds. No AP credit/advanced standing given in bio or chem for pre-meds or science majors. Pre-meds are required to take 2 semesters of calculus and 2 semesters of calculus-based physics if they want a health professions committee letter.
