So right now I’m considering whether I should get a B.F.A. in Media Arts with a concentration in Digital Arts & Technologies and a minor in Ecological Restoration or whether I should get a B.S. in Resource Conservation with a concentration in Environmental Policy & Resources Planning and a minor in Media Arts? I’m interested in both design and sustainability/conservation and figure that landscape architecture would be a perfect degree for me. My school doesn’t offer landscape architecture so I would have to go to grad school after I complete my bachelor’s. Any thoughts?
How far along are you in undergrad? It’s difficult to complete a BFA within 4 years unless you get started on the core courses pretty early. (And some BFA programs don’t leave enough electives open to complete a minor.)
I’m in my third year. I was doing a double major in Resource Conservation and Media Arts but it became too time consuming. I have about half of the coursework done in both areas but there was no overlapping coursework and it became too difficult in order to finish in 4 years so I want to just major in one and minor in the other.
So, are you in any position to finish a BFA in 3 more semesters? If not, go for the BS + Media Arts minor.
