</html><description>New England Conservatory (NEC) and Harvards Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) have agreed to establish a new degree program allowing exceptional students to earn both a bachelor of arts degree from Harvard and a master of music degree from NEC, beginning in the 2005-06 school year. The initiative will benefit those students who are both musically and intellectually talented, and who might otherwise have to choose between Harvards rigorous education in the liberal arts and sciences and the professional music training offered by NEC.</description><thumbnail_url>https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2004/06/13-fasnec1-225-2.jpg</thumbnail_url></oembed>
