| BRIAN...no worries. I am certain there was no intent. But I thought I would just clarify what I truly meant as it was different than your interpretation. The BA option is not only a viable one, but a first choice for many, even those capable of being admitted to top BFA programs. I know many such talented students. They want that type of educational experience. A BFA isn't better, but simply a different path and educational experience. For those who only want a BFA, then a BA may seem like a back up. But some have a BA as their optimum choice for getting a degree in theater.
I also thought I would point out that those in a BFA, at least my kid's BFA, work on productions and that is not counted for credit at all. It makes for a very intense schedule. When I spoke to my kid last night at 11:15 PM, she was walking home after having been at her studio for classes all day and rehearsals all night, starting at 9:30 AM. It was a typical day. |
