questions about the BXA program at CMU

Hi! Im currently in BHA and I can tell you first hand that everyone I’ve spoken to here says that BCSA is 75% computer science and 25% art. You’re better off doing a BFA with minors in CS stuff if you want to actually go into art. Double majoring isn’t really a thing for programs that already have a BXA alternative (to my knowledge), so I wouldn’t push that route.You can definitely pursue minors while in BXA! Most of the minors have classes that double count with your BXA majors, and regardless BXA is set up to not overload you to the point of not being able to do minors. With the way the application is set up, you’re automatically considered for BXA if you put more than one college on your application, so your ED would only apply to the first one you list.
