If I'm majoring in Political Science, does my masters degree have to be in Political Science, or can it be in something else? I want to get my masters in Journalism, but do I need to get a bachelors degree in Journalism first? Or does it not matter, since they're both a B.A.?
Thanks, everyone!

No. The field of study you choose for your bachelors can be different from your masters. Often it is really good to have different fields because it makes your learning cover a wider area and thus often more opportunity to look at things differently.
Also, often the same courses for the bachelors will be given in the masters program. So you would be taking the same courses over again.

depends on the prereqs. for the Masters program. You might have to take some courses in writing and journalism at the college level before you can apply to a graduate school program. Check out the school abnd see what they require.

You can get your Masters in a different field. It depends on the particular school and program and what they require. All schools are not alike.
