<p>Double majoring means concentrating in two areas within the same school (resulting in one degree, i.e. a B.A. concentrating in Political Science and Psycholgy). What you’re asking about is a dual degree, resulting in two seperate bachelor’s degrees.</p>
<p>You do not apply to both schools–you apply to one as your primary school and then, during your sophomore year, apply to the Boston University Collaborative Degree Program (BUCOP) in order to become a full-fledged student of both schools.</p>
<p>Tuition costs do not change; however, you have more requirements to fill. Depending on how many credit to come in with and how many classes you take each semester, you may need to take additional classes during the summer or stay additional semesters beyond the normal four years–that will increase your costs.</p>
<p>You should also consider the logistics of doing this. SMG’s program is very structured and requires a serious time commitment–to my understanding (which is limited when it comes to CFA), the same can be said for music performance majors. You may have a tough time putting in the hours required for SMG team projects and CFA rehearsals (or whatever it is that’s required). Additionally, there aren’t many requirements between the schools that overlap–BUCOPing is a lot easier when you can take courses that fulfill a requirement for each of your schools.</p>
<p>BUCOPing can be a lot of work. If you really want to do it–that’s great–but make sure it’s something you really want to do and that you have a good reason for doing it. If it’s just to satisfy your interests, perhaps a minor would suffice.</p>
