What programs can be paired with courses in architecture?

Aurora

My university requires either a specialist or double major for graduation, and since it offers no specialist program in architecture, I was wondering what major can be paired with a major in architecture? What programs have a clear connection to architecture, and has lots of creative elements to it? I'm not a science person, I lean more towards the arts, especially music and visual design. I plan to go into the design aspect of architecture, for example interior design.
Thanks for any ideas!
