<p>I would suggest you also spend some time thinking about what it is you want to eventually do with your career. That could help narrow the track. </p>
<p>Fishbowl’s advice is excellent. The training is very time consuming. </p>
<p>If you go for a BA, whether it is because you intellectually want to pursue other studies, or because you want a backup degree, you should keep in mind that you will competing for acting work against the BFA students who have that much more training. Lets use NYU as an example. Not to pick on NYU but because it makes an easy example. Acting or MT students at NYU are in studio 3 days a week. The other two days they have gen Ed classes. However in most BFA programs you are in studio 5 days a week. That’s 40% more time in acting or MT class for the BFA. Does that show up in a BFA’s performance? Yes I believe so. </p>
<p>It is a tough choice! You are doing the right things by asking questions and reviewing programs. Make sure you review sample schedules and the curriculums of different programs so you get an exact idea of what your days will be like at each school. Good luck!</p>
