Why don’t you list the fields that you are interested in instead.
As I asked, what are ALL possible graduate schools that can be entered in with a bachelors in philosophy.
For graduate school, probably just philosophy, unless you have a specialization that overlaps with another field such as Political Philosophy leading to a Political Science grad program, etc. For professional school, Divinity, Law, and Med School (if you have the prereqs) come to mind.
Is it possible to go into something very unrelated such as computer science or engineering?
@hizeus Why couldn’t you state that in the first place?
No, without a year or 2 of prerequisite make up courses.
Because my original questions wasn’t meant to be that specific, computer science was simply an example.
Depending on what subjects one studied in philosophy and on one’s use of undergrad electives for necessary pre-requisites in certain fields…
Philosophy; Political Philosophy; Bioethics; Theology; History & Philosophy of Science; Intellectual History; Logic; Rhetoric; possibly, Cognitive Science; and Professional School in Law; Divinity; MBA; Medicine (with the usual premed requirements); Public Policy; Library Science; Journalism; Education (esp. History & Philosophy of Ed); MSW; some PsyD programs (with some necessary pre-reqs)
The original query
is absurd, frankly. You later said
*So no, that wasn’t “As I asked” at all. And yet it is still far too broad of a question. It isn’t just dependent on your degree, but on your interests and what other background you have. You can make up courses in graduate school. You don’t have to have a BA in history to get a Ph.D. in it. You could have a degree in chemistry and enter a Ph.D. program in history, especially if you were thinking of specializing in the history of science. But even if you wanted to do Revolutionary War history, you can get into a program. You just would have to take more coursework than other grad students, most likely, which might extend the time to completion. But of course that is also dependent on so many variables that one never knows.
For computer science or engineering, it is a harder way to go, because they are so technical and have so many prerequisites that cannot be made up in a relatively short time in grad school. If you have little or no background at this stage, it would take 3-4 years to get in that coursework. I think, but am not sure, that you can get a second bachelor’s degree before undertaking a graduate program. Check with some universities that offer these majors, or we can see if others on here are knowledgeable about this. Let’s restrict the rest of this thread to answering that very narrow question: Can one obtain a second undergraduate degree in a field such as computer science or engineering if one already has a BA in philosophy?
And btw @Hizeus, there is a correlation between one’s SAT score and GRE score, even after 4 years of college. Usually the verbal will go up and the math down if you are a humanities major, and vice versa for science majors, but the general range for the total tends to correlate remarkably well with one’s original SAT scores.*
