Degrees?
Is it possible to get a masters and bachelors degree at the same time? As in, if I go to school to get my masters in one field, can I simultaneously study to get a bachelors in a different field?

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
I think it maybe possible to enter a course where after gaining Bachelors degree you are automatically entered into a Masters degree. Where it is the intension to do so from the start. This I have heard of. I hope this answer of some help.

Don't know of any, and I've worked in college admissions for 30 years.
What is your objective?
If you want to get there quicker, there are ways to make your undergrad take less time, testing out of classes, taking AP classes in high school, summer school, etc.

Most Masters programs require you to have a bachelors degree in order to apply.
You are really going to have to call the school you wish to attend and ask them this question specifically, because a lot depends on the nature of the programs you want to enrol in, and how they are set up and offered.
If you want to do a bachelor's degree in a different program or field, and your masters at the same time, technically you might be able too. However, many programs are designed to be full time, so arranging a class schedule would be difficult, and you'd likely end up having to pay tuition to both programs (it's unlikely you'll save any more this way, because you would still need to pay for all the credits you were taking, especially if there wasn’t any overlap. Double the degree means double the cost.)
Honestly, it’s probably not a great idea. Unless the school is set up to help you do this, I would suspect doing a Masters and Bachelors at the same time, in separate fields, would likely be spreading yourself too thin intellectually. Call a rep at the school or departments you are interested in, and ask talk to them.
