<p>bktheatre… a little off topic, but I found something I posted last year about pursuing careers in directing that your S may find helpful!</p>

<p>skipsmom – you are right a BFA is not always as limited in terms of academic work as people think. Many do require students to have a more well rounded educational experience. Some BAs also more professionally focused training than others… again – a little off topic from the OP (SORRY!), but I think it is important for students to really look at the required and offered curriculum at each school. Some BAs look more like BFAs (in terms of the level of professional training available, and the number of grads who go directly to work in professional theatre, and some BFAs look more like BAs (in terms of the number of academic courses required outside of the major). The exciting thing is that there really are so many different kinds of educational experiences that can lead a student to a similar outcome in terms of careeer path!</p>
