<p>So I was thinking about something.. I'm attending Rhode Island College's BA theatre program in the fall after having had an unsuccessful turn out with Boston Conservatory. RIC's theatre program allows those interested in MT to get a BA in theatre with a concentration in musical theatre. I figured that would be the best route for me. But recently I was thinking that if I decided to stick with this school, I'd only be getting half the training that all those kids in the BFA programs get. However, I'm on full artistic scholarship at RIC, and to leave that behind would be kind of a bummer as I would have to definitely take out a really big loan to pay tuition in any BFA program if I were accepted as a transfer. To resolve this, I thought it might be possible to double minor in dance and music. Both minors require about 20 credits in each discipline, and I figured thats just about what all those BFA students have to do. I would then be training as an actor who is sound in both music and dance, just as any performer should be. So could this be an economic way to get BFA style training in a BA program, or am I just fooling myself? Is there even such a thing as double minoring, and could it work for me?</p>
<p>Mtgeek - I think anything is possible if you really put your mind to it. Yes, the extra course load would be incredible; however, since you have the artistic scholarship, I think it would be worth the effort. What if you got a great deal of your liberal arts credits out of the way in the summer months? Would they allow that scholarship-wise? That way, you could double up on the dancing, vocal during the school year..Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>I know muhlenberg suggests students interested in musical theatre to double minor in music and dance.</p>
