This is ridiculously early, but I’m curious. Generally speaking, does one have to have an undergrad degree in a particular discipline in order to get the graduate degree? Here’s the scenario: D2 is home sick and is perusing some of the brochures she’s gotten from colleges. Case Western has caught her eye. They have the Classics major she is hoping for and also have an MA in Art History/PhD in Museum Studies. Her life’s dream is to work in a museum and the proximity of Case to the Art Museum and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is quite a draw. Obviously, when the time comes she will ask the school, but I’m curious as to how this all works. Could someone (generally, not specifically to this school) with an undergrad degree in Classics be a candidate for a master’s in Art History? Insight much appreciated.
