Interesting Double Major interest

karen, I suggest you look very closely at these schools to determine if they really have these majors. I am pretty certain that Carnegie Mellon only has a major in physics, not astrophysics (they have a couple of classes in that). It would be virtually impossible to double major in MT and physics, though potentially he could do the BXA program. Which would be a combined physics/fine arts degree. Realizing that he would have to get accepted to both programs, and drama accepts ? 10 students or less a year, I think…plus no astrophysics and the drama in the combined program has no MT involved…doesn’t sound like he’d be getting anything of what he wants!

My advice is to just look really closely if this is what he thinks he wants, because it may not be possible after looking at it with a fine tooth comb, at a particular school. He might consider going to the best school possible with astrophysics available, and many schools he could perform MT in a club, or possibly as a minor. Just because he loves something doesn’t mean he has to get credit for it, but just have the opportunity to do it.
