To obtain an MA in Economics, is it necessary to have a Bachelor's in Economics? Or does your undergraduate work not have to match your graduate degree?

For economics you do not need to have an economics undergraduate degree. They will take just about any major.

You do not HAVE to have majored in a given field in order to apply for graduate study in it, but you should have taken enough courses to convince the admissions committee that you are prepared for advanced work. Fields that involve much quantitative work, such as Economics, would require that you have taken some pretty advanced undergraduate classes. For example, what courses in Econometrics have you taken? I took a sufficient number of courses in a couple of fields outside of my own major to have been a good candidate for an advanced degree in those fields had I wanted to pursue one, but I used up almost all of my undergraduate electives on them. There are some graduate programs for which you don't need to have majored in or even studied anything in particular. These include Law, Social Work, Business, Library Science, and Education.
