Question

Is it ok to major in something different in graduate school than you did as in undergraduate?

Answer 1

Absolutely! Many people seek graduate degrees that are very different than their undergraduate background.

Answer 2

Absolutely!  Many (if not most) people who complete graduate degrees do not "major" in the same thing they did when they got their bachelor's degree.  What I want to get my master's degree in is not offered as a bachelor's degree anywhere.

Answer 3

Of course, but note that you may be required to complete some prerequisite courses beforehand.  For example, if you have a Bachelors in Art History, you may not be accepted into a Masters program majoring in Chemistry without some type of work experience, etc.  Good luck!
