karenmommy – when you say your student is “interested” in musical theatre and IR…is he thinking of double-majoring, minoring in MT, just having the opportunity to be cast in productions/keep a toe in? Which is the stronger pull/interest?



without going there how do we find out how good it really is?



Do you have any opportunity to make a campus visit (good regardless of a student’s prosposed major(s)? Has the student contacted these schools to talk to the musical theatre folks?

Double majoring is hard for any program, seems even more difficult for MT, due to the number of specific courses required. There is a student attending (or did he graduate?) from the University of Michigan double-majoring in MT (an auditioned BFA program) and engineering.

Finding that perfect school is difficult. Think about all the options (even student or community theatre in the city of the school, if he wants to keep performing while pursuing a different major). Would love to hear what you find! Is the student in question a senior?
