Can I Switch Fields With My Psychology Master’s Degree?
I will be receiving a Master’s Degree in Psychology soon (I also have a Psy B.A.). Despite the degree, I am strongly thinking about leaving the field. I am interested in continuing my education in a different field. However, the thought of getting another B.A. is a bit daunting. I was wondering if it’d be possible to apply for a non-Psychology Master’s program without having a B.A. in that field? I’m thinking mostly about History or American Studies, but other Social Sciences are possibilities too. And if it’s possible, what fields could I get into?

It is possible to get into an M.A. program without a B.A. in the field of concentration. My Bachelors is in Biopsych and I have a Masters in Linguistics. A background in a Liberal Arts discipline can better prepare you for further study in other social science concentrations than it can for more technical fields of study, such as computer science.
The great thing about liberal arts disciplines is that they prepare you well for Thinking, Analyzing, Interpreting, Researching, Rhetoric & Communications, etc. – and this world needs more people who can do that effectively. With these skills you can do all sorts of interesting things.

You could get into the corn field. Didn’t you hear about the farmer who was just Outstanding in his field? Basically I would think that if you have enough prerequisites in your new chosen area of study then you can just pick up at a certain point, however Universities have differing qualifiers concerning Masters programs so you should first decide where you want to attend study and then proceed to qualify for the program.
