I currently hold a B.A. in English, but want to earn a master's in social work. Is this possible?
I'm aware that to be more competitive for master's programs in social work, one should probably have earned his/her bachelor's in a related field such as sociology, psychology, or social work. However, do you know of anyone who earned a MSW with an unrelated bachelor's degree?

It's certainly possible but you would have to check out the requirements of the specific programs you are interested in applying to. Most may require a certain number of courses in social work or a related field before you can apply. You might end up having to take a few semesters of undergrad courses to get caught up. You don't want to walk into a Master's program where you have no experience in the field, it'll be too difficult to keep up and get good grades.
