Graduate School Question

Some graduate programs require prerequisites, and list those prerequisites in their info on their website.

I majored undergrad in government, and went to grad school for broadcast journalism, which didn’t require any prerequisites. Journalism at the graduate level is probably an unusual major in that unless one is going for a doctorate and plans to teach or do research, it’s an advantage to NOT have an undergrad journalism major.

Afterward, I entered a doctoral program in clinical psychology. To qualify for admission, I had to take several courses in psychology, something that I did via evening courses at a local public university. While many graduate programs didn’t view nonpsychology majors favorably, the program that I went to did.
