[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: We only consider UMD at this point because it's instate tuition, and offers music ensembles and science labs on one campus. UMD offers Bachelor of Art in Piano (requires 51 Music credits) and Bachelor of Music in Piano (requires 74 Music credits). The BA degree requires much less "Music" credits than the BM degree.

DD does not want to be a professional musician, but very fascinated with classical music and wants to study the subject. 
The idea of taking up a BA instead of BM was to free up selective credits. DD will need to pick up ~38 pre-med. credits, and ~48 core credits in order to obtain a BA and be able to apply Medical school. [b]It bring the total credit required to ~137.[/b] However, some of the pre-med cr. fulfill core requirements, and some of her high school credits will be transferred as college credits. We need to sit down with a counselor to nail down the exact courses.

I'm leaning toward the Piano major instead of Violin major because piano is mostly a solo instrument and does not need to attend many afternoon ensemble sessions which will conflict with the afternoon science lab sessions.

It seems like a working plan, but is there anything I didn't think of and make this plan too hard to go through?[/quote]

FWIW, I recently graduated and was required to get 120 credits total to graduate (x credits for major + x credits for gen ed curriculum) and ended up graduating with 137 credits in 4 years. I only took one 3-credit summer class all 4 years and didn't kill myself, so it's definitely doable.[/quote]
