<p>My daughter is in the BFA program at Syracuse and also is in the university’s Honors Program. She has had the opportunity to take some challenging academic courses, and the theatre program is superb. The rigor of the BFA program makes it tough to fit in a lot of classes outside the major, though some kids do double major.
You might want to check out Middlebury if you’re looking for a strong liberal arts school with a good theatre department. My son is a student there and has friends that are very happy with the Drama Dept. I attended a play there this spring and was very impressed.</p>
