What colleges offer both a language interpreting program AND a program in music performance?

admiral_n_20 asked:


I’m trying to figure out where I want to go to college. I’ve been debating between becoming an interpreter, as I love languages, and my mom is becoming an American Sign Language interpreter, I think that would be fun; and between music education, I’ve played guitar for 8 years, love it, and thought I’d enjoy teaching music at a college. However I think I’d prefer being an interpreter, and also I think part of the reason I’d want to do music is simply to have the chance of going through college focused on guitar, it’d be so enjoyable. So I decided I’d go for interpreting, and double-major in that and in music performance in guitar. However trying to look for colleges that would offer something like that is difficult. I live in Charlotte, NC and would prefer to go somewhere not TOO far away…hopefully within six hours perhaps. Please, suggest others, but consider that too.

Oh, and for my language, I’m native in english, and would be interested in interpreting Spanish or Japanese, initially at least. And for guitar, I’d prefer a jazz program over classical. Thanks so much for your help!

    I’m an oboe major and unless you want to be in school 10 years you can not double major as a musician. You’ll have to do 10-13 courses of just music per semester and you’ll be in the classroom mon-fri 8AM-8PM plus performances and weekend shows. It’s one or the other dude.

    And you’ll have to audition to get into the dept. and I’m going to be honest. anywhere you go they take very few students, especially guitarists and vocallists because they are a dime a dozen
