Schools with good music performance programs?

I agree that “financial support” questions (still not sure what that means) are best answered by administration!

However, I do know this: A “double major” at USC must complete ALL the requirements for BOTH majors, with only the GE core requirements filling the same role for both majors (obviously, they don’t need to take two of all the GE’s). That’s why it often takes an extra year.

A minor in a second subject is a smaller concentration of electives in that subject. This can typically be done in four years IF the music major has enough elective space (and many don’t) or if the student comes in with enough AP units.

If the student chooses to complete a “second degree” once they’ve finished their first, then they are treated as transfer students in that any new GE requirements not in existence when they first began will need to be completed. I don’t believe that’s what the OP was asking about. It seems the OP meant a dual degree or double major, which at USC, are no different.
