Best Theatre B.A. Programs?

I want to go to a school where I can get a great theatre education but I’m not looking for a BFA program because I’d like to double major. I am also not interested in that conservatory feel. Right now, I’m looking at Northwestern U, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, and Northeastern U. For my second major, I am not certain but I’m considering communications or journalism. Where can I double major and still be in a great acting program? For reference - I have a 3.82 unweighted GPA, I’ve taken mostly honors/AP courses, and got a 32 on the ACT.

Some others factors I would like to have but don’t need:
-in/near a city
-mid-sized undergrad
-away from midwest with the exception of UofM (I’m from MN)

How much can your family afford to pay? Talk with them about that. Where the program you like best is one thing, but affordability will determine where you actually end up.

Vassar may be a bit smaller than you want, but they have outstanding theater and while not in a city, it’s about 90 minutes to NYC by train.

NYU seems an obvious one for an urban college good for both acting and journalism, but it may be bigger than you want. You’d need to get into the theater program first, and declare a double major later. Budget might be an issue.

My daughter is a double major at Loyola Marymount U, getting a BA in Theater and her second major is Women and Gender Studies. She also is getting a Screenwriting minor. It’s a midsized school, and your stats are higher than hers and she good good merit. She absolutely loves it, and of course, LA is a great place to be for Theater majors.

USC also has a BA Theater program (or did four years ago).

North Central College in Naperville Illinois.

Fordham has an amazing theater BA program. I think you can double major but I’m not 100% sure. They do require auditions, though.

I totally second @gotham_mom 's suggestion of Vassar.
