No, it does not. However, you must have completed some foundational courses (bachelor’s degree level) for the field that you are interested in studying for a master’s degree.  We also look at your professional experience.

If you do not have the necessary background knowledge it will be difficult to get admission to a master’s degree program from the institutions in the United States.  You must show that you have foundational knowledge (education background and/or work experience) in the subject area that you are interested in studying and must prove your capability.
