Now, it will matter if you already know you want to do grad work in a certain area, but most grad programs only require a degree or a degree in a related field.

Whatever you do, don't get your masters/phd from the same instutution from which you earned your Bachelor's, espically in the more "academic" fields like psyh, soc, etc. It is considered to be somewhate "incestoues" if you only were trained in one school of thought, or by one faculty.

Second that. No more than 2 degrees from the same institution!
