If I have a bachelor's degree in liberal arts can I go on to study education for a master's degree


If I have a bachelor's degree in liberal arts can I go on to study education for a master's degree?
I don't know much about how the system works. Since liberal arts doesn't have alot to do with education, is it possible to get admitted into a masters program for education? I want to be a teacher.

It depends. If you want to teach something in the humanities (English, history, etc.), you should have no problem. You don't necessarily have to major in education to be able to get a master's degree in it later, but schools will want to see that you have some sort of background knowledge of the subject matter you want to teach before they admit you.

Liberal Arts is a very common major for those interested in education.

You should be able to get admitted into a masters program without much trouble. However, some schools might require you to take some extra courses (perhaps undergrad education courses) to fill in some of the gaps that might exist in going from liberal arts to a more specific field. Some schools will probably require extra classes where others won't; it just depends on the admission requirements. However, I don't think you should have any problems getting admitted to a graduate program.

"technically" i think you can......it doesn't matter what your major is to get your masters........but i'd think its unlikely without atleast getting some further schooling in a similar subject area.
