Should I transfer schools to double major or wait?

I am an English major but would really love to double major with Studio Art. However, my school doesn%26#039;t offer a B.A. for Studio Art, only a B.F.A. so it%26#039;s not possible here to double major like I want to. I could just minor in art, but looking at the requirements it wouldn%26#039;t cover enough classes for my personal satisfaction. To double major, I%26#039;d have to finish up at another university. Or, I could wait until I graduate from this school and then enter a program elsewhere, however I wouldn%26#039;t be able to get FAFSA Pell grants any longer then since they don%26#039;t give them for second bachelor%26#039;s degrees. I have student loans but starting this next fall I%26#039;ll be getting Pell grants to cover all of my tuition because my dependent status is changing to independent and I don%26#039;t make much money at all. Yet, graduate then *poof* no more grants for me if I want to go someplace else unless I bet on funding from the school itself.

I REALLY want to study art. Hmm. What do you think I should do.

I really think you should study what you REALLY want to study. Have you considered going for a MFA in studio art part time after you graduate? If you work full time and go to school part time, you might have it both ways. Just a suggestion.

Best of luck, and let us know when you become famous. :-D

Unless the program you want to enter after you graduate offers a lot of financial aid, I would say transfer so you can double major. Besides, you only have a limited number of years to live, why would you want to spend more of it in school when you can do twice the work in half the time for half the price? You haven%26#039;t really mentioned any disadvantages to transferring, so I think that%26#039;s your best course of action.

Not snide? Okay, fine. Blunt, however, was not proscribed on your posting. DO NOT DOUBLE MAJOR!!! Graduate with English. I did. Then I went on to law school. It%26#039;s not glamourous, but it is a B.A. Then, go to art school. You do not want two B.A. degrees. If you actually do, then have at it. It really does not make sense, though. Even not having any art education should not hold you back from pursuing graduate studies or some %26quot;Academy%26quot;-type setting for further pursuits in the area of your passion. Good luck! Enjoy life in the meantime. These glory days will pass you by if you don%26#039;t.
