BA to MS in unrealted fields
Hi there. I graduated from a UC 2 years ago with a BA in psych. Towards the end of my degree, I took a geology class and realized that I had missed an opportunity at a degree that may have been more fulfilling. I graduated, got my psych BA, and have not used it whatsoever in my working life since.
I have been thinking of going back for a masters in geology, but most of my degree's course load is not useful for a masters in a different field. Is it possible to just get an associates in geology at a community college and then go for a masters program from there, or should I do the whole 4 year track over again. Looking for anyone who has gone from a BA to a MS. Thanks.
