Crescendo College is a small, highly selective, private, liberal arts institution offering a dual-degree program for some of the most musically talented young adults in the nation. The advantage of this dual-degree program is that it keeps a variety of options open to the student once he/she graduates and helps not limit our student's bachelor’s education.
