<p>From what I heard (not exactly sure if this is true or how it works) is that you can go for a master's degree without having a bachelors degree in that subject. For example, a friend of mine got a bachelors degree in biology and then went ahead on to get a masters degree in business without getting a bachelors in business. Is this possible and, if so, how does this work? Would I have to take any pre-reqs? Now that the thought is in my head, I'm going to try to get my bachelors in psychology and then try to apply for a masters in business econ. Any help or links would be very helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>Are you sure she didn’t her her MBA?</p>
<p>It depends on how much prior knowledge is assumed. I mean… you aren’t going to major in humanities and then go to grad school and do science/math.</p>
<p>It also depends on the school, some schools require you to have significant undergraduate study in a field.</p>
<p>BA: Classical Archaeology</p>
<p>MS: Soil Science</p>
<p>Yup, it can be done.</p>
<p>Some of the math and science core courses were part of the liberal arts program for that first degree. The rest were picked up in about a year of post-bac work at home-state U before applying to grad school.</p>
<p>Your individual mileage will depend on many variables including the specific first degree program, the projected graduate program, and the universities involved.</p>
