Hi @curiouselder , BFA programs are more rigorous conservatory-style programs which typically require more majors credits than a BA. I never say anything is impossible, but a BFA acting program is going to require daily work not only in classes, but in outside performance labs and productions as well as more coursework than a BA would have.

A BA program gives you more opportunity to double major. At my university, a BA program that offers focus in Acting, we had many students in our department double major, and even a few who double majored in physics or Bachelor of Science degrees.

Do you mind me asking why you’re not interested in the theatre or theatre history classes in a BA curriculum?
