What college would be good for a criminology/forensic psychology degree, but also a music minor?
I want to major in criminology/ forensic psychology. Eventually I might want a Doctorate in Psychology. However I also want a music minor in vocal performance or general music performance. What schools have a good psych/criminology program, but also a good or decent music program? I want a place with decent academics (mean SAT scores 520-620 or better)

Pitzer college would probably suit:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/30/education/edlife/gems.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&sq=20%20Hidden%20Gems&st=nyt&scp=1
Acceptance rate: 40 percent. Pitzer was founded in 1963 as a women’s college and, now coed, embraces its roots in that progressive decade: students enjoy broad academic freedom, and can build their own programs and partake in independent study. Pitzer is a member of the Claremont consortium — Scripps (all women), Harvey Mudd (math and sciences), two graduate schools (Keck and Claremont) and, of course, Pomona and Claremont McKenna. Consortium students are encouraged to take classes at member colleges, expanding resources and exposing them to a variety of high-powered professors. Campuses adjoin, with most buildings just a 15- to 20-minute walk away. Pitzer has a reputation for a more relaxed environment than the other colleges; some say that’s because classes are easier; others say students are not as type A. SAT’s are optional, too. Citing a cultural bias to the exam and a desire to improve its ethnic mix, Pitzer waives scores for high-performing students.
Take music at Pitzer but your psych subejcts at Harvey Mudd if you feel that are better than what Pitzer offers.
Thanks
