I have a BA in anthropology and I want to get a MS in Paleontology. How do I do it?

Talk to the department chair at the university. He may be able to help you through the process. The department chairs sometimes can give you credit for classes you have taken that would qualify you for the graduate program.

They won't let you do paleontology with an anthropology BA?
Huh.
Guess I'm useless to you. I thought that you simply needed courses and degrees or minors in similar subjects to pursue in Master programs.
You may be able to go back to school and get a Minor Degree in some kind of paleontological art that may take a short amount of time and then allow you into the program.
Your uiniversity counselor is probably more useful here than me or anybody else here, though.

You apply to a university offering an MS in Paleontology. You don't have to have a Bachelor's degree in the same field as your desired Master's. Maybe I don't understand your question.

Find a school with the program and sign up! You may have to take a qualifying test or similar depending on the school or program. Usually a BA can carry you through to the master's program - but it could depend on the particular school.
Good luck!
