<p>Glad that you clarified with better wording. By 4th year, I didn’t mean, “in the 4th year”. I meant, there was a year, in your 4 years that you could play with, or if you prefer, continue with more studio training. You said it much better than I did and good point about the early graduation as an option as well.</p>
<p>What if you do want to be doing studio work for all 4 years at NYU? That’s possible, right?</p>
<p>Yes, Gwen, it’s possible. Some studios are four year programs, some are fewer than that. It is common for students to do a year, or sometimes two, of another studio after their primary training. I’m not as familiar with the various studios now as I was when my D was there, but the website likely has the current information as to the details.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I have a D that is currently getting a BFA in studio art and one that graduated with a BM degree in MT (Steinhardt.) So I cannot speak about Tisch classes (even second hand.)</p>
<p>That said, one of the things that has impressed me most about NYU are the academics that enter into the classroom during studio time or during art/ music/ theater related courses.</p>
<p>So in addition to the true academic requirements and minors or electives outside of the arts all together, I found that all classes managed to challenge daughters academically and instill a sense of academics into the arts. Art/ music and theater was taught from the perspective of an artist’s/ performer’s role in society and pieces were analyzed and discussed to force young artists to re-think their role as artists in the world.</p>
<p>Seems to me that OP should give NYU a bit more time. Now that the semester has ended, I wonder if he still feels the same and wants to transfer?</p>
