ACT Announcement!

If you want to study Performing Arts in college, the first question to consider is, “Do you want to get a BA (bachelor of arts) or BFA (bachelor of fine arts)?” The answer to that question will dramatically change your admissions process, yet many students do not know the difference and are unsure which is right for them. Though they may sound the same, in practice they offer two distinct experiences. Here, we’ll distinguish between them so that you can make the choice that best aligns with your goals!

Whether before or after submitting applications, some students may feel anxious about what is next to come — they may not feel ready to start college right away, or perhaps they didn’t get the admissions results they were hoping for. These students may want to consider exploring a gap year as an alternative to jumping straight from high school into their college lives. 

It’s never too early to consider pursuing graduate school after finishing your undergraduate education. Graduate school is often associated with higher earnings and can be necessary to gain access to upper-management jobs in certain fields. Graduate school also gives you the opportunity to dedicate time to studying specific topics not offered in sufficient depth at the undergraduate level or to set yourself up for a career change later in life.
