@lalalemma - it’s not that easy at Bard College to get to study with the Conservatory professors, or be accepted into the conservatory orchestra. The student would need to be strong enough to have been accepted directly into the conservatory in the first place. In which case, I would recommend seriously considering applying to the Conservatory for the double degree - because then you’re eligible for significant merit aid.
As for Pomona - the Music degree is a joint degree with all the Claremont Colleges - it wouldn’t matter which of the 5C’s you were attending to take advantage of the music program - even though it’s based at Pomona. So you could be a Pitzer student and still get the same classes, teachers, and resources.
@cellololol - that is a good list from @lalalemma. If you’re willing to look at the West Coast I would also add University of Puget Sound. And I assume you also know about Lawrence in the midwest, yes?
