Is it possible to get a MS in applied math with a BA in pure math?

<p>Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried searching and I wounded up with no results.</p>

<p>Anyway, I'm currently a math major (Because my college doesn't offer a major in applied math). Assuming I graduate with a BA in math (School doesn't offer a BS), will engineering schools even consider selecting me? I'm guessing graduate engineering programs with applied math favors people with a BS in applied math, but I'm hoping my hunch is wrong.</p>

<p>Can you go to graduate school for applied math with a major in pure math? A resounding yes! I have several friends who did this and they all fared very well in the admissions process. </p>

<p>Can you go into engineering with a major in math? Probably - it might depend on the engineering specialty and your science background. I know two graduate students in electrical and systems engineering who were math majors as undergraduates. I also have physics major friends who went into more “techy” engineering fields (mechanical, aerospace, robotics). You probably wouldn’t need a full physics major for these fields, but you couldn’t avoid taking some physics classes before you apply.</p>
