WSJ: "If you're a high math student in America... it's crazy to go into STEM"

Can you get an MS in engineering without getting a BS in engineering first? I mean maybe if the have a BS in chemistry you can get an MS in Chemical Engieering with just a few extra classes, but it wouldn’t exactly lend itself to an Econ major skipping thermo and kinematics and diving right into Masters in Mechanical Engineering! They would have to do a 5 year BS/MS program with no electives what-so-ever! I think if they just went back for a second BS in engineering that would be good enough.

<p>Well, I’ll put it to you this way. I know a girl who obtained an MS in engineering from MIT…whose undergrad major was in English.</p>
