Graphic Design Masters
Is it impossible to get a Major in Graphic Design, a Minor in Linguistics, and a Masters in Mathematics?
This is what I want to do, but I want to know if it’s logical or even possible. Why or why not?
The major and minor are part of a Bachelor’s Degree. They do not need to be related, although the closer the major and minor are to each other (e.g., Mathematics and Computer Science), the easier they will be to complete within 4-5 years.
The Master’s Degree is separate and generally requires the completion of a Bachelor’s Degree.
Admission to a Master’s Degree program is significantly easier if you have a Bachelor’s Degree in the same or an “allied” field (e.g., Mathematics and Computer Science are considered “allied” fields).
However, even if you have a completely unrelated Bachelor’s Degree, you can STILL take undergraduate non-degree courses that are required for admission to the Master’s Degree and then apply.
One U.Va. started out with a Bachelor’s Degree in Asian Studies at Berkeley but later took courses in Computer Science and got into the Master’s and Ph.D. program here. So, your combination is not impossible. Not completely sure if it’s logical, but if you like all three, go for it, and good luck!
