If I wanted to get a masters in writing, can I still get a bachelors in something else?

Question

I'm looking to get a bachelor's degree in music, and I was also hoping to get a master's in writing. Is this possible? I don't know how the system works. Thanks.

I'm wondering if I can get a bachelor's in music and then move to a master's in writing. Is this possible, or do I have to have a bachelor's in writing or something like it to move to a master's in writing?

Answer 1

Hee Hee!! I have a bachelors degree in music with concentrations in voice and piano and a minor in English. I taught music in the public schools for a couple of years and when the money ran out, all the special programs were cut. I was able to get a provisional certificate to teach English in the classroom, but needed to get a lot more hours. When I was about half way to a Masters I decided to complete it. My masters is in Education with an emphasis on reading and linguistics. Since then I have worked as an instructional designer writing documentation and instruction for subjects as diverse as cryogenic food freezers, project management, telephone installations and bank tellers and loan officers. I say GO FOR IT!

Answer 2

It possible, however, some masters programs in writing may require for a bachelors in writing or samples of your writing. You may want to look into doing a minor in writing in addition to a music major.

Answer 3

I'm not aware of a Master's in writing ... you can get a Master's in Communications, English, or Literature (with a Bachelor's in music). I'm curious: what do you want to do (careerwise)?

Answer 4

You can usually do a Master's in another field. In some cases you will need to take a few undergraduate courses in the new field first--a good idea in any case. A good way to do this is to make the new field your minor.

Answer 5

Communications,English literature to name a few

Answer 6

Sure. The taxi companies aren't particular about who they hire.
