I just read your second post. I am not surprised IU has a strong program in this area, but you are also right it is a very different school. I would say, though, that Tulane has a strong arts program also and working with the business, public policy and arts faculty to put together a strong program should be quite doable. Additionally she might want to talk to the law school and find out what undergrads are allowed to take. I think they are allowed to at least audit certain classes, but I suggest talking directly to the school. I am afraid the advisors are going to not be so useful here, it will take initiative on her part for sure. BUT… New Orleans also has a strong local arts scene that I have known past undergrads to get very involved with. She could possibly even make it part of her service requirement, and that could be a very exciting experience. I think here, the difference between being in New Orleans and Bloomington could be significant.
