<p>If a double major is a must, then you may need to rethink some of the schools on your list. At CMU, the structured curriculum only permits a couple of classes outside of the department. At Ithaca, the MT program is a double major in theater and music with only 6 elective classes outside of the department. As with many BFA programs, the problems with attempting to double major are having sufficient room in the structured curriculum to take the required number of courses for the 2nd major and finding sections of the courses you need for the 2nd major that do not conflict with the schedule of your mandated MT classes (that usually have assigned sections). You may want to call the theater departments of the schools on your list and discuss whether the department believes a double major is possible.</p>
<p>On the other hand, you may want to search the MT forums for the various discussions about double majors and the misimpression some hold that an undergrad degree in MT is somehow inferior to and does not prepare a student for post graduation life as will a major in another area. It’s generally just not so. An undergrad degree in MT is a legitimate and creditable degree that will prepare a student for further education or to enter the work world just as well as most liberal arts undergrad degrees.</p>
