<p>Here’s a question from left field:</p>
<p>In America, it seems perfectly common for students to get an undergraduate degree in anything under the sun and follow up with a library science masters. In my case, it’s a Biology BS, and the American schools I’m applying to encourage dual masters or certificates in computer science, anthropology, philosophy, comparative literature, and who all knows what else.</p>
<p>On a semi-whim, I decided to check out some international schools, and really love the idea of studying in Japan. But do they have the same flexibility in the far east as they do here, as far as background is concerned? What about Australia? Our Canadian friends to the north? Or European countries–I’m proficient in German.</p>
<p>I’ll probably end up in the wholesome Midwest, but I could apply outside our borders and see what happens.</p>
