<p>Is it possible to do that? Every college I want offers both. When I ask others they always recommend I double-major rather than minor in one and major in other :/</p>
<p>If it is any help, the colleges I'm interested in are:
Pratt Institute and FIT.</p>
<p>I would think it would be very difficult, depends on a) does the school you are interested in allow that/ offer that (not all offer minors) and if they DO offer the option of a minor, talk to someone in admissions at the school on how often anyone actually does minor in another design discipline, will it add time to get your degree? How feasible is it (ie, if the main graphics studio you need in order to get the minor is only offered during the same slot as required Interiors studio, then it is basically not feasible to do both).</p>
<p>You really need to talk to the schools to see if this is doable.</p>
<p>I agree that you’d have to check whether such a dual degree is even offered, but even if so it would be hard to carry out (or survive.). Pratt does offer minors but I’m not sure they’re offered in all fields. It’s hard to imagine how one could minor in interior design–it has so many professional prerequisites. Graphic design is a broader term/broader field but the major tends to be taught very intensively as well. Like paperplane, I suspect that if you want substantial expertise in both fields, you’d probably need to be in school for at least an extra year. But keep in mind your multi-disciplinary foundation year would give you time to explore your interests and abilities, and would probably help give you a sense of which primary direction to pursue. Best of luck.</p>
<p>I have never seen a school that offers a dual degree in two different majors that both give you a BFA (or minors for that matter). As stated above, Pratt does offer minors, but they’re outside of the art field. Parsons holds a dual degree program, however it may be different from what you’re looking for (their BFA/BA dual degree program). Frankly, the workload to acquire two BFA degrees at the same time would be too much, so schools do not consider it. If you really want degrees in both areas, you should get your bachelors in one area and your masters in the other. It kills two birds with one stone as it is a positive impact on your career and you gain another field you are interested in. That is what I plan to do =]</p>
