What is the Harvard double degree program?
NEC and Harvard offer a joint 5-year program leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard and a Master of Music degree from NEC. Because applicants auditioning for the program are being considered for the Master of Music degree from NEC, admission into the program is very selective.
