Tisch double majors

I saw on the Tisch website (which I looked up after my little sister got accepted in Dramatic Writing) that Tisch students can double major in something outside of Tisch.

Does this mean that they get both a BFA and a BA? Or does the outside major get lumped under the BFA?

The context for why I am asking is here: Employability of BFAs

Summary: Sister is deciding between Tisch and another school (a very good school, but one that is not known for her field). Sister wants to go to Tisch. Mom is worried that Sister's BFA will make her unemployable if she needs a backup career (the issue is not the major - Mom was fine with the major until she realized it was a BFA). Someone on the thread suggested that Sister could double in a non-Tisch major. Which is an interesting idea, but doesn't resolve the problem unless it means that she gets a BA in addition to the BFA.
