<p>honestmom- I don’t think William Paterson has a program named after Maynard Ferguson; at least I haven’t read that on their website. Boyer is definitely a contender; my S auditions there on Sunday, and while Temple does have a stronger overall academic program , they don’t offer a dual Performance/Management. Since my S has good grades and test scores, he applied to the Honors College, which should increase the academic rigor for him.</p>
