Masters in Linguistics Without Linguistics Background

<p>I am interested in pursuing a masters degree in linguistics. However, I recently graduated college with a Bachelors of Science in Math. Though I have not studied linguistics in the past, I have always been passionate about languages. I have previously studied Italian, Latin, and Spanish. I believe that my love of languages and my mathematical background would make me well-suited for a career in linguistics. I am worried, however, that my lack of coursework in linguistics will set me back. Does anyone have any advice on how to get a masters degree in linguistics without a bachelors in the same field? Furthermore, does anyone know of any programs that are open to accepting applicants from other fields? Thanks! Any information is appreciated. </p>
