<p>A performance discipline and a science discipline is one of the most difficult to achieve, both being time and credit intensive. Scheduling conflicts often abound between rehearsal, performance ensemble obligations and required labwork.</p>
<p>Anyone contemplating a dual path needs to read [Peabody</a> Institute - Conservatory Admissions: The Double Degree Dilemma](<a href=“http://www.peabody.jhu.edu/doubledegree]Peabody”>Double Degree | Peabody Institute) Defining yourself within the context can illuminate options. Know the differences between BA, BM and BS options. Study each school’s policies and availability of opportunities for course availability/ensembles/instruction as a music minor, which can be an alternative for some. </p>
<p>As for Hopkins/Peabody, the dual admit is not that common. The specifics for Hopkins students are detailed on the Peabody site (as they are for most schools). The most seamless programs for a double/dual approach tend to be Bard, Oberlin, and Lawrence. Knowing the actual, implied or tacit support of the institution, departments, and private instructors in supporting a “music and” path is really the key to it being possible. Whether successful is a different issue altogether.</p>
