Transferring for BFA Acting

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm not sure if the school I'm attending is right for me. I just finished my first year as a BFA Acting major at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and the training is great, but everything else about the school feels wrong. I'm also beginning to consider taking a second major (for greater job stability in the long run), but being a double major would be a real feat for me in their BFA program, and the school itself doesn't have a lot of other strong areas of education that I'm interested in.</p>

<p>I know a lot of schools don't work with BFA transfers, but do you guys know of any that might be flexible with the whole "start over as a freshman" policy? I'm also considering becoming a BA in Acting/Theatre/Musical Theatre to handle a double major better, what are some notable BA programs out there? Naturally I'm looking for top schools for theatre.</p>

<p>Thank you, I'm frighteningly lost right now.</p>

<p>Go to the main page where all of the forums are listed, and scroll down to find the College Majors section. Then read through the threads in the Theatre/Drama major forum there. You will find many recommendations for good BA programs that will leave you enough time to complete a second major.</p>

<p>You are smart to look at places where you can double-major. You need a back-up career plan in case the theatre thing doesn’t work out.</p>
