I am extremely interested in both the science and music programs at University of Michigan. Would this combination of majors be impossible? I know both majors are very tasking and difficult. While I’m up for the challenge, I’m curious to know if it’s even possible to schedule such contrasting majors together?
@bellavisto look at the info page and videos about the Living Arts community. It’s one of the residential options. It’s for Engineering, Music, Theater and Arts. It seems like a LOT of those people are doing just what you say. You could probably contact someone and talk to them about it.
A fair number of students double major in PAT and EECS (electrical engr/computer science) because there is a decent amount of overlap between the two. You will have much less overlap with physics, so it will most likely require an extra semester or year (even if you come in with AP credits). One challenge is scheduling science labs that can conflict with other required courses, particularly rough if you choose one of the PAT degrees that requires music ensemble participation. The other challenge, of course, is the level of studying. That said, it is doable. FYI, my D is a music performance and Biomed engr double degree student.
