I know it's slightly off topic, but what schools can you do a double major with a BFA in Acting?

FWIW Drew University in NJ is currently ranked as the top undergrad Theater program in the US by Princeton Review.

Collegecasting, that site you provided the link to contains limited and/or erroneous info. For example, it says that NYU offers a degee in dance, not even mentioning drama. It omits northeastern schools with theatre programs like SUNY Purchase, Rutgers/Mason Gross, and Boston University, etc.

correct me if I'm wrong Cadbury, but isn't the princeton review based off of surveys about how many people go to see extracurricular theatrical productions at said school? Ranks don't mean anything. Where are the grad's working, what kind of actors are they turning out, is the training substantial. Those are the kinds of questions one should be asking themselves.

Can we continue this thread?!

Hi everyone,

This thread has some GREAT questions in it... am hoping that more people can chime in with answers! The great questions include:

What are the top BA in ACTING programs?

What schools allow BFA students to double major?

And, what does the ranking that puts Drew U. at the top really mean? Does anyone know how good of a program Drew has right now? (My D is applying there.)

I have one other question that is related to the first one above: What school or schools on the East Coast have a program that is very comparable to UCLA's BA program? (My D read about it and said "This is exactly what I want!!... but on the East Coast."

Thanks to anyone who has info about the above questions.

I would say Emerson - they have a BA Acting program that is very good. My D was accepted to the BFA Emerson program, but the BA program looked quite excellent. We were very impressed with Emerson, but it is very expensive. Still, you must audition for the BA as well as the BFA program.
