<p>I want a school where I can study both theatre and science. Both of the programs must be competitive being as I am advanced in both theatre and academics. I want something in the city but still gives a nice amount of money out. Dont have SAT scores, only a Soph
taking 1 ap now and 4 next year, 3 the follow</p>
<p>nyu… but i dont think they give alot of money.</p>
<p>can you double major there?</p>
<p>American University in Washington DC. I know of someone who is going there in the fall to be a double major in Theater and International Relations, and chose American for that very reason.</p>
<p>In addition to Amerian, I would check out Catholic university in DC and Macalester if you’re interested in foreign relations.</p>
<p>I have a friend who is majoring in PoliSci at George Washington and either double majoring or minoring (I can’t remember) in theatre and she loves it.</p>
<p>Can you double at NYU</p>
<p>Yes, I believe so.</p>
<p>Yes you can double major at NYU in Tisch as long as it doesn’t interfere with your courses in the arts, for example, my studio is Tues, Thurs, and Friday, you would have to choose classes on Mon, Wed. For example.</p>
<p>I agree with Collegebrowser that American University is worth looking at if you are interested in both theatre and political science. AU’s theatre program is an audition-based BA program. My S was accepted to the theatre program for Fall 2010 and really enjoyed the audition and the auditors. AU is also one of the top-rated schools in the country for international studies and has a very good poli sci dept. Washington has become a top-rated theater town (some say it is now 2nd in the country after NYC) and the internship possibilities in DC as a poli sci/govt/international relation student cannot be matched anywhere in the country. Georgetown and George Washington also are excellent for poli sci, but they do not have audition-based theatre programs. AU has a wonderful new arts center where the theatre classes are held. AU is in a great neighborhood (it’s more residential than urban) but there is easy access to the Metro that takes you just about anywhere in DC. My S has accepted an offer to attend another theatre program but it was a difficult choice because of the theatre and other opportunities in the DC area (DC is his hometown - and he ultimately decided he wants to have the “away from home” college experience).</p>
<p>In addition to many posted above I would suggest University of MD. I know a young man who chose to go there a few years ago because he too wanted a strong theatre program and political science. He had been a child actor… A few national tours under his belt, a lot of regional theatre, commercials, etc… He wanted to keep growing and training as an artist while pursuing political science, internships in DC, etc…</p>
<p>UCLA (not a powerhouse BA) but an excellent Poli Sci department. USC (better Theatre) with Poli Sci (don’t think it is as prestigious as UCLA, but still good).</p>
<p>Brandeis University, with a careful check on recent changes in their theater offerings. Excellent for Political Science.</p>
<p>Brown University</p>
<p>ellebud: I beg to differ on the “UCLA not a powerhouse BA” comment. There are just too many alumni of merit from UCLA, faculty of merit, and benefits to the program to say such things. It is as competitive to get admitted to as USC, with 1200 applying, around 700-800 actually going through the audition process, and this year, only 30 admitted. And we all recognize its place in the academic world. My husband majored in political science at UCLA, went on to law school and is a very successful executive. He loved the political science program, and minored in business. Of course, if you weren’t into theatre, I would direct you to my alma mater… CAL…</p>
<p>Chrissyblu: I reread what I wrote. What I meant to say was that their Theatre department is not a powerhouse (which unfortunately it isn’t), but I believe I clearly said that the Poli Sci Department is excellent.</p>
