Double Majoring for your Masters

[Kamari]

Hey all, So I'm happy beyond belief to have been admitted to one of my top choices for graduate school but I'm an idiot and got myself admitted into both programs I applied to at the institution. I applied to two MFA programs at CalArts which are ESP (Experimental Sound Practices) and Art and Technology. I'm painfully awaiting a response from Columbia but I just wanted to ask... has anyone double majored in grad school and if so how was it? I know that a plethora of programs offer you a "focus" that might be a bit different than your field of study, but I have an interest in both programs so I'm interested in the idea of trying to tackle a double major.

There is information at the bottom of the page about interschool degrees at the graduate level:

It really depends on the school. My school offers dual masters in any two programs if you can get the departments to sign off with it. There are several pairings that students often pursue, but I chose a pair never done before. There was no communication between the two, so everything was left up to me. I'm a term away from graduating, but I wouldn't recommend what I've done to other people. You should really ask other people at CalArts their impressions.
