<p>would like to go to fsu,ucf, or um i would like to know if double majoring with a bfa is possible.</p>
<p>p.s. i dont want to double major so i can have something to fall back on
(well maybe a little) , i like english and believe it could help me as an actor.</p>
<p>This issue has surfaced before, so search the forum and if you may find something, but these are conceptually different degrees and they are rarely merged. Most BFA programs are very intense and professionally-oriented by design. If English is really important to you, for whatever reason, consider a BA with a double major in drama and English.</p>
<p>Also look closely at the curriculum at any of the schools you are interested in. BFAs have courses in theatre literature and history in varying amounts. You could end up with a significant education in dramatic literature even without the English degree, and you could supplement it with other literature classes if you have room for electives.</p>
<p>As an English major myself, I’d say that the two degrees are very, very different. I would also say that a BA program that offers more flexibility might be your best bet. There are BFAs that seem to have room for double majors (NYU and Minnesota stand out) but it sounds very, very difficult to accomplish.</p>
<p>One thing to consider would be going to a public school where tuition is low enough that you could afford a 5th year to complete a BA as well as the BFA</p>
<p>Like other double majors, the BFA/BA is not only difficult and time-consuming but also includes some sacrifices. You cannot take two such different programs in the same time period and really experience the totality of both programs.</p>
