<p>You are not on the wrong forum. However, if your son wishes to pursue an engineering degree, it would make sense to ALSO read the engineering forum.</p>
<p>I feel like I am being quite repetitive but you are saying that you are finding programs that combine engineering with theater or music. I am saying that an engineering degree might be able to be combined with a BA in Music or a BA in Theater. That is not unusual. What some of us are trying to emphasize is the combo between Engineering AND a BACHELORS OF FINE ARTS DEGREE IN MUSICAL THEATER. BOTH of those specific degree programs are NOT normal college majors in terms of required courses spelled out year by year, hours involved, percentage of total college courses involved, etc. It is that combo that is being questioned and not combining engineering with music/theater or a combing a BFA in MT with a BA in Environmental Science. Even those combos are difficult and not doable at every school but those are possible at some schools. It is rare to see an Engineering degree combined with a BFA in MT and I encourage you to talk to an administrator in the BFA in MT program directly to ask about how realistic that combo is. Even if you find such an option, there will not be many schools that have it and so other degree options or combos will need to be added to the list (not to mention that UMich’s BFA in MT is very difficult to get into itself). I also would talk directly to current students in the BFA in MT programs and ask them what they think. I would not direct these questions to admissions offices.</p>
