Best double major for a Playwriting major?

College Majors Theater/Drama Majors
1

I was just recently admitted to a couple of schools as a playwriting major. One school in particular, Marymount Manhattan College, makes it very very easy for the student studying in Theater Arts to double major. I want to take this as an opportunity to major in something else that I could have a career in and just generally get the most of out of my college education. Right now I am thinking of a Speech Language Pathology & Audiology double major with Theater Arts (with a concentration in Playwriting) because my sister goes to college for SPLA and absolutely loves it!

However, I wanted to know if there would be any other good majors to check out. Preferably majors where there would be a good job market.

Thank you!

Doesn’t Marymount have a drama therapy minor? That could be a good fit.

I’m a speech/language pathologist and you’ll need a master’s degree in order to work as a speech/language pathologist (at least in the NY area)–just an FYI.
For anyone in the performing arts, a business background could be a great help (even for yourself if you’re able to make a living in the arts), or maybe Marymount’s digital journalism or public relations? There’s also an ‘Emerging Media’ major at MMC that looks interesting and can combine your desire to be a storyteller with the practicality of production.
