<p>How possible is it if I want to get into a masters program in English, but my undergraduate degree is a Bachelors of Music received from a conservatory? Do you think this (dis)qualifies me as a candidate for admission? They're related as both are in the arts/humanities department, and my undergrad coursework had plenty of literature/writing/other liberal arts courses. I have a ~3.5 GPA.</p>
<p>I believe that most official websites will tell you that nonmajors are welcome to apply but ought to have completed significant coursework in the field. You might go to the websites of the programs you're considering and see if they address your question directly, or even call departments and ask specifically what their requirements are. Based on what you've posted here, however, I'd imagine you'd be okay to apply...</p>
<p>Ditto on what lotf629 said. It also important to know that professional master's degrees tend to offer more flexibility in undergraduate coursework. </p>
<p>Why do you want a master's degree in English? What are your career goals? If you have taken a substantial number of upper-level courses in English, you may qualify for the program.</p>
