<p>I’ll second that many BFAs have significant gen eds. Not unbearable (and maybe valuable) but not non-existent.</p>
<p>I’ll second that transferring can be problematic. You can’t always anticipate all of the gen eds that you might need in advance. Many BFAs will start you as a freshman regardless, and many will require you to spend 4 years to complete the program. </p>
<p>There are a number of schools that will allow video auditions. There is a thread started on this forum which lists some of those specific aspects, although it’s not in the title. Look at the third page for the DVD info:</p>

<p>My daughter goes to Adelphi University on Long Island. Their Acting BFA (which does have academic gen eds) does accept video auditions, and I know people do get into the program that way.</p>
