Joint programs between colleges and music conservatories?

<p>I think Penn and Harvard have them too if you are looking at ivies. Not sure how important definition of conservatory is to you, but there are several top notch Universities that have exceptional music schools that might equal or surpass some of the “conservatories”. Those schools typically add other general requirements onto their students that a conservatory wouldn’t, but that sounds like something you are looking for. Son is at USC and they have first tier classical, voice and jazz instructors some of whom are grammy nominees in opera and jazz this year, plus Midori is violin instructor I think. There are several major universities like this I’m sure that also have exceptional pre-med curriculum. Son was considering music and pre-med also and the admissions officer told us it is doable, but once people are in the music program, if it is their passion they usually end up committing to music completely. Good Luck!</p>
