<p>also look into NTI for a summer experience as well as a semester or summer abroad in London. The 5 college consortium has a lot of opportunities and through the 5 colleges you should be able to pull together an ensemble of courses which has similar facets of BA Acting programs. Spend some time calling these schools and finding out if you can reasonably put these kinds of courses in your schedule. What are the prerequisites? Can you transport yourself to these other schools in time to make it to your other classes. Also look at Stella Adler or Atlantics summer programs in NYC. Check out some excellant summer Shakespeare programs. I believe either Tanglewood or Berkshires has an excellant program as well as something else in NJ. I’m hoping other regulars on here more familiar with these programs will chime in. Bottom line, Smith is an excelllant school to graduate from and you can make this work for you. Its probably too late to try to transfer to any Acting program for September anyhow. But don’t take our word for it, can’t hurt to call around if there are non audition acting programs. and most Acting programs require 4 full years or at least 3 with transfer credit so it would set you back financially and with the curriculum. Hate to kill someone’s passion though and have regret. I suggest you spend a few days calling around to a variety of programs and ask them what would be involved with transferring in terms of credit, FA, and when you could complete your undergraduate degree. One more option, there may be an exchange program whereby you could attend a semester at another US college with a BA in Acting taking acting courses to supplement your training. If your question is If I know I want to be an actor and complete an undergraduate degree, am I better off getting a BFA or a BA in Acting? I would say arguably Most Likely Yes. If your question is, can I become a successful actor if I complete my degree at Smith? I would say that the profession of acting requires a life of pounding the pavement and opening closed doors and making connections and a life of continuous training and there is no direct route to that end goal. If you are determined and disciplined than the answer to that question is up to you.</p>
