Schools that offer strong music program that are not conservatories

You’re the parent wanting to spend $60K, so I have no idea why Michigan is on your list. Indiana is the sub with one of the top music schools.

Case, BU, Rochester and Bard are unlikely to hit $60K so it seems like these schools should be if I have time applications. I suppose Case could hit $60K but not the others (in likelihood)

Just noting that for you.

Have you been on the music thread? You’ll see much more there.

But if you have a budget like you noted on your other thread, then that should drive your campus choice above all else.

Good luck.
