Son wants a BFA in acting and a degree in math

It’s probably possible to get a degree in acting and math somewhere. If your son really wants to be a professional actor then he should commit himself to that goal. It’s not an easy career path and it takes, among other things, a great deal of perseverance as well as talent and luck (being in the right place at the right time, etc.) Why not focus on acting and see if it’s for him. Just going through the audition process for a BFA program will be a good experience. If your son decides acting isn’t what he wants to do, then he can change his major to math and get involved in theater as an EC.
