That is the kind of thing I was getting at when I mentioned coordinating different departments. I think it is a great direction for her interests. IIRC that program is only a few years old, but Tulane has been going in the direction of more interdisciplinary majors. I think this is the one you mean: [Tulane University - School of Liberal Arts - Social Policy & Practice](http://tulane.edu/liberal-arts/social-policy-practice/) I know they try to be flexible in these programs to allow the student to focus on particular, specific areas of interest to them, which in her case would be public policy for the Arts. She could probably create some independent study courses as well to get quite specific. Here is one professor that seems to have interests your D might relate to: [Tulane University - School of Liberal Arts - Diane Grams’ Profile](http://tulane.edu/liberal-arts/sociology/grams-profile.cfm)

Also, I just remembered how Tulane is involved in a major copyright issue for the Mardi Gras Indians and their art [Tulane University - Empowers - Copyrighting Mardi Gras Indians’ Suits](http://tulane.edu/empowers/mardi-gras-indian-copyright-issues.cfm) and also [Tulane University - Mardi Gras Indians Find Support at Tulane](http://tulane.edu/news/newwave/030411_indians.cfm)

Doing a dance minor would be quite feasible as well. About 7 dance courses will do it, so combined with the 18 courses in the above program is 25, so that leave about 15 courses to explore other things and her foreign language. It really sounds like a great pathway for her.
