<p>I’m a sophomore BFA MT at Ball State. Our program has many extremely academically gifted students who were accepted into competitive universities academically, but chose to pursue performance. I assume this is probably the case for a lot of schools! Look into the Honors College at schools you’re considering! Oftentimes, the honors college is full of other students who are at a university for a particular program and want the added academic challenge.</p>
<p>I can’t speak for other schools, but at BSU your academic core classes can be replaced with honors courses.</p>
<p>Just something to look into! :)</p>
