It’s not just about BFA vs. BA; it’s about breadth and depth of offering both within the major and outside of it; the degree of flexibility for the student to carve his or her own path vs. a very regimented / strict offering; and the degree to which the student has a range of electives they can make regardless of which path they choose.
NYU Tisch School of the Arts, I recommend be one of the programs someone consider unless they know they don’t want to be in New York City for college.
