<p>Hello,
I am a frustrated mom behind the power curve trying to research some other options for Musical Theater degrees. </p>
<p>My daughter is just finishing her junior year of HS in Germany where we are stationed with the military. She is going to BTP this summer and is very excited as she feels at home when she is performing. I am excited that she is going to BTP for the skills improvement but also for a reality check in what it would take to do a BFA program and be “in the business” with all its stresses, etc.</p>
<p>in MT and do a dual major in education which she is agreeable to. Our thought is that in today’s society we cannot imagine investing well over $100,000 in a college education and then have a daughter who cannot get a job. </p>
<p>We have been wrong before but want her to be successful and love what she is doing.</p>
<p>As we are in Europe we are out of the loop compared to many students about whom i have read on this forum. </p>
<p>Bottom line is that we are coming back to the States(east coast) in two weeks to look at schools and we have no BA programs on the list.</p>
<p>I have heard that Christopher Newport has a good MT BA program where you can also do a 5th year and get an education degree. When I went looking to find it, it was unclear to me whether that still exists.</p>
<p>I have heard great things about Baldwin-Wallace but don’t know if they have a BA program in addition to the BFA.</p>
<p>In a BA program do you take classes of the same calibar as/with the BFA students? </p>
<p>I guess what I am asking is if a BA program is second rate compared to the BFA or is it the same level of teaching but just not so much of it?</p>
<p>Do BA Programs do senior showcases?</p>
<p>Please help. So much to do and so little time!</p>
