In case you choose, you can also pursue MA in a subject related to your graduation major and become a specialist professional. For e.g.:-
- In case you complete BA with History or Archaeology Major, You can choose to become archaeologist by pursuing MA, Ph.D. or become Anthropologist by studying MA in Anthropology
OR
- If you complete BA with Psychology major, you can pursue MA in various specializations of psychology like Social, Clinical, Counselling, or Industrial.
