Can you get a masters degree in another field than your bachelor degree?

Posted by admin
Jason asked:


I will be graduating and getting my bachelor degree in English this Spring. I’m interested in getting a Masters degree, but I’m kind of burned out of English. Can I pick another field to get my Masters in? or am I just limited to what I got my bachelor degree in? Explain this to me.

      Yes, but you will usually need a reasonably solid background in that field. There are also some master’s programs set up specifically for people like you, but you’ll have to look around for them.
