MFA in Media Arts/Recording Arts after an MA?

[DrF8]

I have been a long-time lurker on this forum. This is my first post.

I was recently accepted into the MA in Media Studies at The New School, which I'm excited about. While taking a media design/production overview class as a non-degree student in the program this semester, I realized I really like audio editing/production, and I rekindled my love for video editing.

Now, I plan on taking an audio class next semester and a video editing class a semester after that, but there are not that many video editing classes. I am also interested in music production (it's my strongest suit I would say), and I had sort of an epiphany the other day day that rather than focus on one thing, I should satisfy all my interests. My goal is to teach at a university eventually. With the MA I could teach part-time, but I'm interested in teaching full-time. If I am going to teach anything, it would have to be music production or video editing or both because I really can't see myself teaching anything else.

So I'm thinking about obtaining an MFA in either Media Arts or Recording Arts after the MA. I was looked into the MFA in Media Arts program at Long Island University-Brooklyn, but it's light on music production courses. So I looked around and some more and found the Recording Arts program at Middle Tennessee State University. I am really considering this program. I'm starting to develop a portfolio this semester and I could use the MA to develop my portfolio further. (They accept creative works other than recordings and compositions, such as video, film, multimedia, etc.)

The problem is of course taking on so much more debt. I have been avoiding an MFA all together because I don't want to take on so much debt. But if I can get an MA first and obtain a TA position, then that would make me competitive for the TA position for the MFA.

I am crazy in doing this? Thoughts?
