Is it possible to receive a Master's in Sociology if my Bachelor's is in Communication?

Answer 1

Yes, however typically you will have to go for a bachelors degree first. But there are a few known exceptions to the traditional education paths. It really depends on the schools acceptance of the associates degree to pursue the masters.

Answer 2

Of course. You need to ensure that you meet the minimum class requirements for an education degree. You will also need to demonstrate a strong interest in education since you have a different background.

Answer 3

Typically, you must complete a bachelor's degree before pursuing a master's degree. The general order for degrees (there are a few exceptions for the doctorate), are as follows.

* Associates * Bachelors * Masters

* doctorate (highest level of educational attainment)

Answer 4

No, it's the bachelors degree that's necessary. If one were to start with a two year degree, the sequential order would be the associates degree, followed by the bachelors degree, then the masters, and lastly the doctorate. Some individuals prefer to start with an associates degree, while others prefer to start with the bachelors.

Answer 5

Yes it is. Many individuals take a master's degree unrelated to their bachelor's degree. My bachelor's degree is in psychology with a collateral program in gerontology. However, my master's degree is in organizational management. Just make sure you have a specific reason for taking a master's in sociology. In other words, what specifically is a master's degree in sociology going to do for you in terms of your overall career goals and objectives? You should have a vision; a specific and clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. This vision should be based on a passion for what you want to do and the benefit it will bring to others as well as yourself. Once you acquire the vision, your path will become clear. Passion will be the key to your success.
