can you go to graduate school with any undergrad degree?

i think i might want to do something in public relations, the music industry or involving celebrities/media/music. i go to a pretty prestigious college, but my school doesn’t offer any major relating to a media studies or PR major, except maybe English. does it really matter what my undergraduate degree is in the big scheme of things if i’m going to grad school? i’m definitely going to grad school for sure, and i don’t want to have to switch schools halfway through my soph. year here. can i still go into those fields with a degree in economics or psych and a graduate/master’s degree in PR or communications?? thnks 🙂

it really doesn’t matter what your undergrad degree is for any type of school…people with music degrees are going to med school and people with science degrees are going to law school…with my science degree, i’m going to go to a business school…it really doesn’t matter as long as you meet all that school’s requirements…good luck

Check with the schools you’re planning to attend what their requirements are. There are two types of grad programme

a) those that deepen you knowledge of a subject you’re already qualified in (that’s not what you’re looking for)

b) ‘conversion courses’ that take you from one subject into another, but at a higher (i.e. graduate) level.

If its a well-designed programme (and most should be these days) you’ll find it pitched at the correct level for the student intake. In the case of a conversion course, that seems like you!

There’s some advice available on http://www.graduate-education.org which I find often has relevent posts and also my articles on graduate education at http://www.suite101.com/profile.cfm/mcculloch

may be useful.

Good luck!

it is not any longer inevitably undesirable, yet in numerous fields it is greater confusing to get into the graduate branch interior the college the place one gained their undergrad degeree. that’s probably because of the fact there are a number of proficient pupils and somewhat some people do many times persist with to their undergrad for grad paintings. the dep. then must be greater selective approximately who they settle for.

Best to contact directly the school you are planning to attend. With a prospective student, they’d be more than happy to explain things to you.
