Questions about education and social work master's?
I was a biology major, and switched to sociology, and am minoring in psychology. I hope to grab one more minor before I finish, religion. So I will have my Bachelor's in Sociology, minor in psychology and religion. I will be graduating with a 3.1-3.2. It would have been higher without biology dragging it down. I would have loved to have been a social work and education major, but it didn't work out that way. wasn't meant. I want to do social work and education. I was wondering is there a way I could double major, in social work and education. What jobs are open to me with just a sociology bachelor's? With a social work master's? Eventually if I took a break and wanted to be a middle or high school teacher, how many years of schooling would I need. What kind of degree? Just an education master's. I'm thinking of teaching either english or history, one day.

I'm assuming you are asking about a joint MSW/Med and not doing a second "major"? There is one program that might fit your eclectic interests: http://artsci.wustl.edu/~jines/jointdegree.htm In general if you are going to want to teach you will need a teaching certificate in teaching (in the area and age level) you want to teach in. Doing a joint degree will take 2-3 years. Getting a teaching certificate can usually be done in one year. DA

Of course they vary greatly among schools, but this program is easier for admission than medical school, for example. If you apply to lots of programs, especially those at lesser-known universities, you will probably be admitted to at least one if you have a good academic record and letters of recommendation. Good luck.

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.

People enter higher ed from many different fields. Some of the more traditional ones are psych, soc, and communications but I've seen ones as unique as art and interior design. I'm criminal justice and it's not a combination I've seen from people at the orientations I've been to (I had a psych minor so that's a little more common). Feel free to contact registrars at your school and others and see what advice they give you.
