<p>An acquaintance of mine majored in music at Carleton. He then applied to a PhD program in music at Yale in Orchestration, was accepted and is now writing music for video games, movies and won the Tony award for The Lion King play. He makes more money then his MD wife! I would say it has a fine music program and the fact that it is theoretically based can be a very positive thing, depending on what you’re looking for. If you want to purely be a preformance major though, maybe it isn’t the best choice.</p>
