Can you get a bachelors masters and phd in all different subjects

This is an debate we are having at work. I have my bacberlors in economics, and masters in finance, but they are basically the same. So could you get a bachelors in say astronomy a masters in something like business management and a doctorate in political science? You wouldn't believe the arguments this has caused last week

In theory you could, as long as a program accepts you.

@Xuan12 no accredited university is going to turn their post graduate program into a joke

@TexChik Yeah, it doesn't seem likely that highly disparate fields have a good chance of getting accepted. I wouldn't rule out the possibility completely, but I certainly wouldn't bank on something like getting a BA in English and then applying for a master's program in Biology. It would probably take a special case like if you invented a new vaccine while getting your BA in English on the side.
