i believe you can go straight into a masters, so you will probably have to do a 4 year masters course.

Yes. You could get Masters in marketing with out BA in marketing.

You definitely would not need to start from scratch, but you most likely will need to take some prerequisites for the graduate courses and even admission.

Yes, you can. You don't need to start from scratch, but it would probably be a good idea to take a couple of undergrad courses in marketing--even if they're online. I'm getting an MBA after getting degrees in completely different fields and having ZERO business background. I took a beginning accounting class, and I got a handful of review books (like Schaum's Outlines) to look at, so I had half a clue. Good luck!

Yes, you can earn a Master's in marketing, advertising, or any other business field without having a Bachelor's in business. In order to enroll in business school, you may have to take the GMAT (depending on which school you go to). The GMAT tests your aptitude in a variety of subjects related to business. Since your Bachelor's degree is in a totally different subject, you may want to take some business courses to prepare yourself for the GMAT. (There are also services like the Princeton Review or Kaplan that offer GMAT prep courses). Taking these courses may also help prepare you for your future studies.
