I am going in to the final year of my Bachelor of Arts program, which I have done by distance (the program is through a public university and is considered the same as an on-campus program, just lectures are streamed instead of requiring on-campus attendance). I have a 3.67 GPA on a 4.0 scale and have worked full-time while completing my degree. I have done well in my profession, but am hoping to switch fields after graduating. Extracurriculars have been virtually non-existent as a distance student, but I do volunteer regularly and took part in a short-term exchange program through my university.
I would really like to do an on-campus Master's degree. Do I have any change of getting in to a good school, or any school, having completed my Bachelor's degree via distance learning? I am especially concerned about any science requirements for Master's admissions, since lab work is impossible through distance learning.
