Yes, after completing a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in geography, you can pursue a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in geology. With additional coursework or prerequisites, it is possible to switch from geography to geology for a Master of Science degree in applied geology, even though certain colleges may favor geology backgrounds.
It is advisable to inquire about specific universities' prerequisites for admission as well as any additional coursework or credentials required for applicants with a background in geography before committing to an M.Sc. degree in geology.
