Chances of ?Inter-DepartmentTransfer?

College Majors Musical Theater Major

<p>I would GREATLY appreciate any input anyone has, this problem has been keeping me up at night.</p>

<p>THE SITUATION:
At the beginning of this school year (my senior year) I was unsure about which major I really wanted. I have been interested in film my whole life but recently became passionate about Photography.</p>

<p>When it came time to apply to schools my photography portfolio was MUCH more extensive and strong quality-wise. So I applied to Tisch for photography and i recently got the “Saturday at The Square Invite” and was immediately excited to get into my first choice!</p>

<p>But now I’m really freaking out…what if i want to change to film? Will I have to start the whole application process over within tisch and other film schools? How easy is it to switch majors in an art school like Tisch? I know Photography and Film are within the same department can i change within the foundation year? Is it hard to change? </p>

<p>I checked the site and it said you must be in the department for one year before you change to another one. Would some of my classes be interchangable with another major because that is a lot more money.</p>

<p>Or BETTER YET is there anyway to double major with film and photography, i know this is highly unlikely and even if it was possible would be incredibly difficult but i have a passion for both!</p>

<p>AND....if i were to double major will i basically have to pay for two educations?</p>

<p>Marla, congratulations on being accepted to Tisch for photography. If you are interested in switching your major to film, you would have to apply for an internal transfer at the end of your freshman year. This process for internal transfers at NYU applies to all of their colleges, although, as you know with Tisch, you will need to go through the artistic review as well. It is not possible to double major in two different Tisch programs. As far as what classes might be able to count towards either, I would recommend that you call Tisch and inquire about that.</p>

<p>are you sure? because i just checked on the site and it says it's possible. it could be i read wrong because that would be a very heavy courseload.</p>

<p>Marla, unless something is changing for next year, then, no, it isn't possible. Here is a link to the Admissions b/b where the question was asked fairly recently and the individual was also told no.</p>

<p>Where on the website are you seeing it say that it's possible?</p>
