Double Major (BA in MT + BA in Vocal Performance) possible/reasonable?

I see a lot of posts about it being possible to double major with a BA in MT and a non-performing arts major like History or Psychology or something. I’m interested in classical voice but I also have a strong love for musical theatre that I simply cannot give up.

So my question is - would it be possible to get a BA in MT and a BA in VP and still graduate in 4 years?
I know performing arts degrees are intense, even if they are BAs and not BFAs, so is this like a crazy idea? Do people ever do this?

This might be a really stupid question, I have no idea! Come to think of it, I’m sure it could be very hard on the voice if pursuing something like this is even possible.

Another question that kind of goes along with this topic: If a double major like this doesn’t work, what schools have VP programs that include a lot of MT? The only schools I’ve been told have a good mix of the two are OCU and NYU Steinhardt.

(Sorry for so many questions and all that rambling! I’m a rising senior who has A LOT to learn about the college audition process - I apologize for my potentially confusing writing!)

Thank you so much!
