D was a VP major at NYU with a MT concentration. She got her BM degree and had two minors, one in the business of entertainment, media and technology, the other in English literature. If she chose to double major she could have (instead of 2 minors.) But in order to graduate in 8 semesters D needed to take 18 or more credits per term, plus she came in with AP credits that exempted her from some requirements.

One thing to keep in mind is scheduling. Sometimes it is hard to juggle two majors because the requirements for each present real issues In scheduling. There were many classes for MT that D needed to take in a certain sequence that were only offered at a specific time. If your other major isn’t flexible, you just might not be able to get all your classes at the time slots you have available.
