<p>If someone graduate with a non-science major as an undergraduate, what would be the path you would take if you wanted to go into engineering? 2nd bachelors? Or masters program?</p>
<p>If 2nd bachelors, what school actually allows this (in CA)?</p>
<p>Some people wouldn’t agree with this, but I personally would never recommend a second bs. Financially it just doesn’t make sense. Take the required pre-reqs for the ms program you want to get into – normally this is far less than a bs. Now, the downside to this is that you won’t be able to get a license, but there are a ton of engineering jobs that don’t require one so I wouldn’t let this scare you</p>
<p>How would a person take the required pre-reqs? Uni’s don’t allow random people to enter college and take the random classes without being a program of some sort.</p>
<p>Many times you can be accepted to a program under the condition that you meet the required pre-reqs. In other words apply – write a well thought and convincing statement of purpose about why you should be accepted into the program. They’ll let you in and you take the pre-reqs before you start with the real program. It might take a little longer, but nowhere near as long as a second bs.</p>
<p>It might be a hard sell depending on what your undergrad major was - so make sure to do as well on the GRE quant as you can. Perhaps, if you lack any kind of real math background - take the standard undergrad math classes at a local CC, physics as well.</p>
