Question
dear todd,

if i do my bechelor of science in business admistration can i later on upgrade masters degree in business adminstration of hospitality and tourism

kind regrads

Answer
Rima,

A bachelors degree in any field, including business administration, is a stand alone degree meaning that when you finish you have a set degree. If you wish, you can then go on to get a masters degree in most fields. So, if you have a bachelors degree in business then you can easily go on for a masters degree in business. What field of business your masters is in does not make a difference.

So, the term upgrade is not really correct but you can easily go back to school to get the more advanced masters degree.

I hope that helps.
