^@juillet if you read my post more carefully, you will see that I stated that an applicant to a master’s program would need an undergraduate degree or prerequisite coursework in a relevant field. My point was that an applicant would not necessarily need a major in the same field as the intended master’s, if he/she had those prerequisites. We disagree on whether someone with no coursework in a particular field could enter a master’s program in that field. I know quite a few people who have done so. Sometimes they had to complete certain undergrad courses after entering the graduate program, thus lengthening their time to degree. We also disagree on how much prerequisite coursework would be required. You mentioned that often it might need to be the equivalent of a major. Again, I know quite a few applicants who were admitted with much less than the equivalent of a major. I think it depends on the particular department, the applicant’s statement, etc.
I never said that someone with a bachelor’s degree in art or fashion could expect to enter an MA program in economics or accounting. In fact, I said the OP would have little or no chance of admission with that background.
