<p>mom at home - I just wanted to chime in, because your post brought back some memories from when my D was comparing the Tisch and Steinhardt MT programs. She had friends in both, but we were so confused what the differences were, and had trouble understanding why NYU would offer what we thought was “the same thing” in two different schools. In the beginning MT was MT for us, and we did not really “get” the whole BM vs BFA thing.</p>
<p>Anyway, Soozie has done a thorough job explaining that the BM has more of a music & voice emphasis, and the BFA (in the MT Studio) offers training more equally in voice, dance and acting. My D really felt that she needed to develop her acting, while she wanted to continue with her dance and voice training, which is why she opted to apply to Tisch’s MT Studio, then still only available as CAP21. </p>
<p>Even with the upcoming changes, I thought that this way of approaching things might come in handy. I guess what I am saying is that if your D wants to focus more on, say voice training, perhaps Steinhardt might be a better fit. </p>
<p>It all really depends on what she is looking for :D.</p>
