<p>Hi Ryan,</p>
<p>My boyfriend completed the five year program, earning a BA in Architectural Studies & Art History at Tufts, and a BFA in painting at the SMFA. It’s doable if you’re dedicated.</p>
<p>I think most people who drop out of the dual-degree program do so simply because they decide they’re more interested in the BA or BFA. Such was the case with people I knew.</p>
<p>You can definitely take classes at SMFA (any you want!) if you are not a dual-degree student.</p>
