<p>capemom – at many BA program schools your D could most likely could double major in Theatre and something else. There are many schools where this is more the norm than the exception. </p>
<p>Also – if she majors in Theatre (even without a double major) she will be able to work in many fields upon graduation… I do not think that a BA in Theatre is any more impractical than a BA in English… well if you listen to Garrison Keeler 
</p>
<p>I have a BFA in Musical Theatre… and many of the BFA students in Acting and Musical Theatre with whom I attended school have gone on to graduate school or to pursue other advanced degrees… there are Doctors, Lawyers, MBA’s, Therapists… among the group. Others (many who did not pursue advanced degrees in another area) work on the non-performing side of the entertainment business as writers, agents, directors, choreographers, television, theatre, and film producers.</p>
<p>A BA in Theatre can be great training for many careers. A double major in Theatre in a complimentary area can also provide amazing undergraduate preparation for a plethora of career paths. Good luck to you D!!</p>
<p>As far as BA programs that I do not think have been mentioned above… Smith College and Amherst are both part of the five college consortium, and offer theatre opportunities. Boston College could also be worth looking into.</p>
