<p>I was wondering if u could tell me some BA or BFA Theater or musical theatre programs that would allow me to double major?.....I have ap credit so i probably won't have to take any math or general science class.</p>

<p>Trey, I see you have posted this question before about NYU. If you take some time and do a search you will find that 'double majoring" has been discussed in many threads. One you might start with that has a list of colleges is:</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t know how to make the address short, but perhaps it will automatically do it when posting!</p>

<p>If you have very strong stats and want academic challenge plus great theatre training I’d investigate Northwestern University. Many kids there double major in 4 years.</p>

<p>NYU BFA
American BA
JMU BA</p>

<p>I am sure there others… but the above are three schools where I know students who have completed double majors with MT within 4 to 4.5 years.</p>

<p>We know lots of UMich BFAs but don’t know of any who completed a double major in 4 years (which of course doesn’t mean they don’t exitst). There was one guy who was their poster child for doubling in engineering, but I think I heard he dropped engineering. </p>

<p>Hopefully someone there can let us know if anyone has completed a double major there, and if so did it require a 5th year?</p>

<p>Check with Indiana University . . . we know someone who was a VP major + costuming + tech. Not sure if he was technically a double or triple major with the VP being one and costuming and tech being under design and technology.</p>

<p>Having the option to double major and completing it in 4 years are 2 different things… </p>

<p>TREYH03 - are you more set on double majoring or getting out in 4 years? Or only looking for schools where you can do both?</p>

<p>Very true… even at JMU, where I teach it is more common for MTs who are double majoring to take 4.5 to 5 years, particularly if the second major is also credit intensive, and/or the student wants to take suggested additional coursework in the MT major.</p>

<p>My son at Rider MT entered with a lot of AP credits and placed out of some requirements. He just added double major in arts administration (possible b/c some courses count towards both), but it will be a tight squeeze.</p>

<p>I plan on getting out in 4 years but if 4.5 to 5 is possible that’s perfectly fine with me…cause its 2 majors</p>

<p>For many students, a 5th year means an extra $60,000 in costs (I also think most undergrad financial aid only covers 4 years) PLUS the opportunity costs of not working for another full year, so it can be very significant to complete both degrees in 4 years.</p>
