I am here to tell you that double majoring at BSC is feasible. I know many of you are thinking "How can this be possible? With so many daily dance classes, requirements, obligations, rehearsals, and commitments, I will NEVER sleep!" Well, that is completely false. I am a double major with dance and business administration and many of my dance major friends are also pursuing majors in areas such as Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, English, and Education. Although the thought of having two majors seems overwhelming, it will be worth it in the end.
The key is to plan out your course load for every semester for the upcoming four years your VERY FIRST semester at BSC. I can see your eyes widening in fear and I am sure you are feeling overwhelmed and maybe even sweating a little just by reading this, but I promise, Excel spreadsheets work wonders!
I had my college career planned out completely by my second week of school; this ensured that I would be able to fit in all of my classes for both of my majors (including taking additional jazz and modern classes that were beyondthe requirements of the dance major) and still graduate in four years. I am not going to sit here and tell you it was fun and easy, because it has been demanding, time consuming, and at times overwhelming. However,I am highly involved in many organizations outside of the dance department, and yes, I do manage to have a perfectly normal social life. It is all about time management. If you take advantage of every spare moment and stay on top of (or ahead of) your course work, you will be completely fine! I do not regret deciding to be a double major and I hope that this little blurb has inspired you to take on the challenge as well. If you have any more questions feel free to email me at esheflin@bsc.edu.
Until next time,
