It will always depend on the college or university.
Up here at UofA, a BA is a general drama degree, and there are general arts requirements as a portion of your degree, drama credits can only be used towards a total of 40 credits for your degree/
BFA (stage management which I'm about to graduate from) is a specialization course, run like a classical institution, they pretty much tell me where and when I need to be, and if the situation warrants it, how high I need to jump too.
