<p>I agree that a BA program is generally better suited for a double major but make sure that the program offers a lot of flexibility to do so. </p>
<p>My S went into Fordham’s BA program planning to double major and I do not think he will be able to complete all the requirements without taking a number of summer classes. The Theatre department is very small and the classes are required to be taken in sequence with only one or two sections available so he has to schedule all of his core classes around his Theatre classes…and Fordham has a massive core. I expect the problems that he is potentially facing trying to double major at Fordham are not unlike the problems that a BFA student would face. Granted, he is trying to double major within the Theatre department in Performance (two sections) and Playwriting (only one) and maybe it would be easier for him if his second major was in a larger department that offered more sections for their required classes. </p>
<p>I think you need to carefully consider not only each school and program but also what you are planning to add as your second major because it will probably determine how feasible a double major is. Of course, that assumes that your father also wants you to graduate in four years and you want to minimize the number of classes you need to take in the summer. </p>
<p>Read carefully MichaelnKat’s post and also consider that not all BA programs offer the flexibility that you may need. Good luck! :)</p>
