Dear answerers, I would like to know whether or not I can pursue my graduate degrees in History if for my Bachelor's degree (BA) I study Economics as a major?

I’d say “yes,†if you have a respectable number of history credits on your transcript and did well in them (mostly “A’sâ€) AND if you can get good positive references from History-based professors/instructors. If it’s not too late, try to get enough history electives credits to give yourself a “minor†or better yet, a second “major†in history---then you’ve got no problem (ex: I have a primary background in biology, but with a second major in religious studies, I got into graduate school for religious studies). Even if you cannot get enough to make a minor, one tip is to calculate a GPA for the history courses you did take and make reference to that in your application for grad school (assuming it is something strong like 3.5/4.0, etc.). Your only issue is going to be getting into a Master’s program—if you get that though, what you did a BA in exactly becomes irrelevant—Ph.D programs are only really going to be interested in how well you did as a Master’s student and what your graduate professors have to say about your potential…
