Soozie, what Gwen Fairfax said in post#8 about studies abroad for BU BFA students is my understanding also.

There are advantages (cost advantages, and presumably others) involved in a program that is officially connected to Boston University.

This is slightly off topic, but I thought I’d mention that my son is choosing the Theatre Arts BFA that Gwen mentioned over the Acting BFA. For one thing, he says it will give him the opportunity to study with Lydia Diamond, a hot young playwright who is apparently an unbelievably fabulous teacher (one of the performance core sections has her for a teacher this semester, but it’s not the section my son is in).

Theatre Arts will also make it easier for him to complete the requirements of the dance minor that he wants to do. The dance minor is 20 credits. The required movement class he is currently taking is dance-focused and fulfills 5 of those credits.
