Do I need a bachelor's degree in the
specific field in which I wish to pursue a master's
degree?
You must possess a baccalaureate degree of some type before
entering graduate school at St. John's University. (Please check
our online Graduate
Bulletin for specific program information.)
In most cases, your bachelor's degree
does not have to be in the particular field to which you are
applying. However, you do need a sufficient number of undergraduate
credits in that field. For most programs, 18-21 undergraduate
credits in the field are required to be considered for a specific
graduate program.
What should I do if I do not have 18-21
credits in the specific field in which I want to pursue a master's
degree?
If you do not fulfill the 18-21 undergraduate credit requirement,
you may have to take the appropriate number of undergraduate
courses at an accredited institution before applying to St. John's
graduate programs. Most universities/colleges will allow you to
take courses on an undergraduate level without moving toward a
degree.
