Grad school for different subject to undergrad degree?

@swimcatsmom

if you get a degree in one subject, is it possible to go to grad school for a different subject.

</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Often, it is a somewhat related subject (e.g. math to computer science, chemical engineering to materials science, physics to astronomy, etc.).</p>

<p>Professional schools in subjects like business, law, medicine, and primary/secondary education take people who did undergraduate majors in all subjects.</p>

So she has taken a few more more classes in it that subject (enough for a minor).

</p>

<p>If her minor course selection includes the “core” courses that students majoring in the subject take, then she should be better placed to go to graduate school in that subject than if she did not take anything in that subject.</p>
