<p>I asked this in one of my last threads about CS, but I figured I would ask it in a more general way...</p>
<p>Would not actually majoring in engineering field A prevent admission into top grad schools for a Masters in field B if you have a change of heart (and can express that clearly?)? Or is getting a Masters in a different field of engineering pretty common (or at least not very rare) in top schools?</p>
<p>I'm sure this depends on what field A and B are... I'm mostly thinking about CS -> EECS or CS -> ME because I would like to have a liberal arts double major in u-grad instead of loading up on technical courses</p>
<p>I'm just trying to leave my options open, but I'd also like to hear input about switching from other fields (ones not applicable to me like biomed -> petroleum etc.) if anybody would be so kind as to contribute. Are you ever pigeonholed into not being able to get a masters or something or, if you can get a masters, will it have to be from a school with a less-than-sterling reputation?</p>
<p>nobody? Can anybody point me into the right direction of a forum that could answer this?</p>
<p>If you give me an answer, I’ll give you an e-blowjob.</p>
<p>Hmm…well, I think it is definitely possible in a lot of cases, but not in every case. For example, CS to EECS sounds quite reasonable, especially if one took some background EE classes as an undergrad and perhaps chose to focus more on the CS side.</p>
<p>I’ve definitely heard of people doing BME as a grad degree a lot of times. There are certain times where the overlap between certain disciplines makes it very reasonable - for example, I’ve seen a lot of people do some combination of ME and MSE, and then do research in a cross-cutting area.</p>
<p>CS to ME, however, sounds a little harder…there’s not as much of an obvious connection there, but it depends on one’s specific research interests. </p>
<p>So it’s definitely possible (and done frequently), but maybe not in every single case.</p>
<p>so you got an email address for your e-blowjob?</p>
<p>What engineering degree do you think would set you up for the most possibilities grad-school wise?</p>
