<p>I already know that I want to major in Musical Theatre in college. My problem is that my mom won't let me do that unless she knows I can double major in something else that I can use to support myself. She suggested Business or Journalism, but I'm having trouble finding colleges that would allow me to double major in MT and something like that. Does anyone know of a really good theatre school that has that option? I've looked into liberal arts colleges that have theatre programs, but I would really prefer MT to just drama. I feel like what I want is too specialized to allow for much of a choice in double majors. I'm thinking either English/Writing/Journalism or maybe French. I'd like to be able to take multiple languages as well, if at all possible. French, German, and Italian, specifically. Does anyone have any idea at all that could help me with this?</p>
<p>If you’re in a BFA program, it will be pretty hard to double major in something else. Perhaps you could do a BA in either drama or voice, with a second major in say English, and get active in musical theatre extra-curricularly.</p>
<p>There are plenty people knowledgeable with MT programs (and options) in CC’s seperate MT forum <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/</a>. I’d suggest you repost there.</p>
