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.
