That depends on what kind of a Master's you are trying to get. There are two kinds of master's degrees. One, which is sometimes called an entry-level master's, lets you start as long as you have a bachelor's degree in something, regardless of what it is. Probably the most common example of that is the MBA, but there are a number of others. In fact, there are a number of master's degrees for which there is no equivalent bachelor's degree. The other type is a continuing master's degree, and you need to have a bachelor's degree in the same subject matter in order to get in. Most of the master's degrees in the humanities, physical sciences, and engineering fall into this category. You can't get a master's degree in Electrical Engineering if your undergraduate major was Dance, for example.

It probably depends on the masters program.
If it is allowed, you will have to work harder as a graduate student if you are changing fields to get a Masters because you will have to make up the prerequisites before you can take the required classes.
