<p>..in any other field.
i mean is it possible for a high-school graduate to go to a grad school and get a master's in some engineering field?</p>
<p>Without getting an undergrad?</p>
<p>yes.just wondering since one can get a masters in a engineering field different than the undergrad one.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you can’t skip from high school to graduate school unless you’re like super amazing and have already won a nobel prize or something.</p>
<p>I don’t see a graduate school admitting a high school graduate school without knowing at all how they would deal with undergrad. It just doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>It is true someone in another field can apply for engineering graduate school, but they would have to take about a semester’s worth of undergrad engineering courses–and that would probably be for someone who has a somewhat related field like physics or mathematics. If someone is a Linguistics major, they’re most likely better off starting undergrad over than trying to jump into engineering grad school.</p>

<p>No. A master’s degree is not an advanced BS, it’s a specialization. You can’t specialize in an area without the base-level knowledge of the field.</p>
<p>In other words, you basically asked if it’s possible to learn how to run without ever learning how to walk.</p>
<p>OP: Anything is possible, and I am sure it has happened once or twice and sooner or later someone will produce an article about some whiz kid who did it. That having been said, this is pretty dang close to impossible, for reasons that others have noted, and is also probably a pretty bad idea even if they would let you.</p>
