<p>^^^While that link is a good explanation of the differences between a BA and a BFA…</p>
<p>To my knowledge, UCLA’s BA program is considered very similar to many BFA programs in terms of its training. That’s not true of most BA programs but I would agree with chrissyblu’s assessment that UCLA is “BFA-like under the guise of a BA.” It also has the audition to get in as well.</p>
<p>The difference in chrissy’s D’s choices considering they are UCLA and CalArts is not quite as much the usual BA vs. BFA dilemma considering that UCLA is “BFA-like”, but a big difference is that one is a stand alone conservatory and one offers BFA-like training within a university.</p>
