<p>I'm thinking of majoring the theatre, but want to study plenty else.. art, romance languages, south asian studies, general humanities.... advice?</p>
<p>Not sure about this, all I know is that Meryl Streep went to Vassar!</p>
<p>same. I want to do acting, and major in something else. I'm lost...</p>
<p>How's the drama department at Barnard?</p>
<p>I am friends/ colleagues with a number of the faculty at Barnard. They are top notch! I have also had the opportunity to work with recent Barnard grads professionally. I was impressed.</p>
<p>Northwestern, Georgetown, Vassar, Barnard, Skidmore, Bard, Sarah Lawrence, Williams College, Kenyon College, Pitzer College (I think), Chapman (I think), Muhlenberg, American University ... to name just a few ...</p>
<p>Thanks Kat and BrownEyes, I've asked the question on the Barnard board to no avail, so it's nice to know that if I was accepted there, I'd have a good opportunity!</p>
<p>Can anyone suggest some good universities in either Canada or the US that offer (preferably a 4 year) program where economics would be my major and Theater/Acting/Drama my minor?</p>
<p>Evike1: Many, many schools offer an econ major and theatre minor. We’re going to need a little bit more about you to help - how selective a school are you qualified for? Do you want to be near a city? The US and Canada is a really big area! Do you have any preference for region?</p>
<p>It would help if the other students posting here would give some of their preferences, too. Most good colleges and universities have a full selection of majors, including theatre, and offer double majors. Be a little more specific, and we can help you all much better.</p>
<p>I’m quite sure Northwestern has a very well respected Economics department and that it is common to minor at NU, but I’m not certain you’re able to minor in theatre, which is a restricted program. </p>
<p>Maybe someone else knows?</p>
<p>I do know that NU is reputed to do more on-campus theatrical productions than any other school in the country – upwards of 60 shows per year – so there are ample opportunities for non-theatre kids to perform.</p>
<p>NU does have a ton of opportunities - and they told us last week that they do have a Theatre minor.</p>
<p>Northwestern indeed has a ton of theater productions, but I am not sure if it is more than any other school in the country. For example, I believe Yale has about 100 productions per year. NYU/Tisch has over 100 per year as well.</p>
<p>Also, here is the link to the Theater Minor at Northwestern:</p>

<p>@soozievt – you’re no doubt right. I have no firsthand experience but had recently read that NU did more annual productions than other schools. Honestly anything over 10 productions a year sounds like a lot to me!</p>
