<p>Tisch students can double major however, it differs by major, obviously. </p>
<p>As far as film majors go, a double major is possible however, you most likely wouldn’t be able to take an elective classes - you would probably only be able to take major requirements/gen ed requirements to graduate on time. (Taking around 18 credits per semester) </p>
<p>HOWEVER,
Considering that your primary goal is philosophy, I would HIGHLY recommend studying at NYU. NYU is widely regarded as having the best department for philosophy in the world (consistently ranked above Oxford). A lot of the papers you will read for analytical-based classes will have been written by the professor who is teaching the class. Personally, being a philosophy major, I can tell you that studying philosophy here is both very difficult and very rewarding. (Note: A few of the largely popular classes will have TA’s and recitation sections. However, professors encourage debate/discussion during class AND during recitations with the TA’s, as it is essential to the study of philosophy). And of course Tisch is arguably, along with USC, the best film school in the US. I would recommend accepting the Tisch offer and trying it out. If you decided that you can’t or do not want to pursue a double major in Film and philosophy and instead only want to go for philosophy, you could internal transfer from Tisch to CAS.</p>
