<p>So I've decided to apply to Tisch for dance but I'm also interested in applying to Stern for business. Is that possible? Is NYU the kind of college where I can just apply to the school and then apply to the programs, if you get what I mean. As dance and business are very different and are based on different standards, I wanna know if I'm able to apply to both, then choose which school i'm going to.</p>
<p>You can apply to one or the other.</p>
<p>If you want to major in dance you MUST apply to Tisch. I’m not sure if you’re allowed to major in business in Stern, but you can minor; you can also major in anything in the College of Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>The only way to declare a major (well, concentration) in Stern is if you are in Stern; however, you can have a minor in Stern if you are in one of NYU’s other schools. I want to say that it’s the same for Tisch, but I’m not too sure of their major/minor policies.</p>
<p>You have to be in Tisch to have a Tisch major, but I’m not sure that the same is true of Stern, but it may very well be.</p>
<p>You have to be in Stern to have a major in Stern. And you have to be in Tisch to have a major in Tisch. You can’t dual major across the two schools, only minor. Choose the school you want to be in the most…</p>
<p>Plus, don’t Tisch dance majors graduate in less than 4 years? That would make double majoring virtually undoable,</p>
<p>yeah tisch dance is only for 3 years. What I’m saying is… if I don’t get into Tisch dance, as it’s basically audition based, am I still able to apply for Stern</p>
<p>No, you don’t. You only have one shot. You apply to one program only. My advice is to contact the dance department and possibly meet with them to get more of an idea of what si expected at your audition before you apply.</p>
<p>I am the parent of an NYU junior in the Gallatin School of Individualized Study. She has taken classes in CAS, Gallatin, Stern, Tisch and Wagner, as well as a semester abroad! It is true, you only get one chance at admission. Have you considered Gallatin? It encourages students with interests that cross traditional majors. You may not be able to take all of the Tisch classes, but you can definitely take Stern, CAS and dance classes. Gallatin has an active theater program, also. It also allows you to override prerequisites, as well. You are also in NYC, so you have access to a lot of private lessons. These may even count toward graduation credits.</p>
<p>Gallatin is certainly another option. But you won’t get the degree (and probably job opportunities) that come from Tisch or Stern; that probably doesn’t really matter as much for Tisch since your jobs will still be more audition than resume-based, as opposed to a Stern degree. However, you will not get the same in-depth training from Gallatin theater compared to fully training at Tisch. So I’d say Gallatin is the best and worst of both worlds…you get to experience and learn both from Tisch and Stern, but you won’t be able to come close to reaping the full benefits of either.</p>
<p>The thing with Gallatin to check on is what classes you will be permitted to take…especially when you are talking performance/audition/portfolio based programs. D just graduated with a vocal performance BM degree from Steinhardt. Whereas Gallatin kids may take some of the more general music classes required for majors, they were not permitted to take musical theatre classes for majors, nor do they get into the vocal studios of the top teachers in the department.</p>
<p>Younger D is an incoming freshman studying studio art. Although intro classes in art are also offered to non-majors…non-majors are separated from studio art majors (the classes have different requirements and go by different names) and upper level classes are often for majors only. Also the classes for non-art majors are offered on Fridays whereas art majors are not scheduled for classes that day. Top professors may have off as well.</p>
<p>So I would keep that in mind for dance if you intend to work on a level equivalent to a dance major. Really research and speak about specific classes and whether or not they will be available to you.</p>
