Acting/Tech double major?

<p>Are there any good BFA programs that allow double majoring in Acting and Tech? I know Evansville has the Theatre Generalist major, but any other options? I expect BA programs would be more flexible about this, so if you know of any good BA programs that are condusive to such a double major I wouldn't mind hearing about that. Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Hi there, blaserk. I am a freshman at Ball State University, and you can double major in Theatrical Studies as well as Design/Tech. As a Theatrical Studies major, you can get a BA, and study many different aspects of theatre, and the Design/Tech major is a really great option as well! Check out Ball State at their website: [Ball</a> State University - Theatre and Dance](<a href=“http://cms.bsu.edu/Academics/CollegesandDepartments/TheatreDance.aspx]Ball”>http://cms.bsu.edu/Academics/CollegesandDepartments/TheatreDance.aspx). </p>

<p>I hope this is a good fit for you, and if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to message me! :D</p>

<p>The short answer is no, in most cases BFA conservatory programs do not offer double majors. These are professional programs with structured curricula. However, there are a few exceptions for the occasional oddball; my daughter was one too. Take a look:</p>

<p>[Theatre</a> Arts (BFA) College of Fine Arts | Boston University](<a href=“http://www.bu.edu/cfa/theatre/prospective/undergraduate/theatre/]Theatre”>http://www.bu.edu/cfa/theatre/prospective/undergraduate/theatre/)</p>

<p>[Directing</a>, Playwriting & Production | The University of the Arts](<a href=“http://www.uarts.edu/academics/theater/directing-playwriting-production]Directing”>Academics | University of the Arts)
This is a directing/playwriting/production degree with a minor in Musical Theater.</p>

<p>[The</a> Theatre School :: Undergraduate Admissions :: Theatre Arts Application](<a href=“http://theatreschool.depaul.edu/undergraduate_application_theatre_arts.php]The”>http://theatreschool.depaul.edu/undergraduate_application_theatre_arts.php)
This one is mainly for directors but offers a sampling of everything in the department.</p>

<p>In other cases, a BFA program offers a BA in Theater Arts for those with more general interests. Here are a couple of examples.
[Theater</a> Studies (B.A.) - Theatre Arts - School of Humanities and Sciences - Ithaca College](<a href=“School of Humanities and Sciences | Ithaca College”>School of Humanities and Sciences | Ithaca College)
[Theatre</a> Studies (BA) | Emerson College](<a href=“Academic Departments, Emerson College”>Academic Departments, Emerson College)</p>

<p>If you find a program that interests you, make sure you will have access to both professional classes and main stage shows in both of your major areas.</p>

<p>I’m a sophomore at Fordham University (in NYC) pursuing a performance concentration. It is a BA program, but the amount of time and effort you put into the theatre department here, it definitely feels like a BFA sometimes!
A TON of my peers are interested in more than one “track,” so it’s definitely possible to build your resume in both Tech and Acting. </p>

<p>Hope your search goes well! Feel free to message me if you have any questions about our department!</p>
