Can you pursue an M.A. or Ph.D?
217201
You could go on for a M.A., M.S., Ph.D., J.D., Ed.D., M.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., and all sorts of other M's and D's.\n\nYou might try IOSCAR; it's free.  It asks you questions and suggests occupations based on your interests, knowledge, skills, and abilities.  It also has a lot of information on opportunities in different occupations.

It depends on where you study and in which country.In germany, it is waste of time to get B.A degree in math.Actually you cannot get B.A degree in math u only can get diplom here before doctorate in math.It is better to study engineering here as I do.But in other countries you may transfer to computer related department easily or you may apply for M.S. degree in computer sciences.But If you like math. I think you have to continue your education with master in math.It wont make you rich but It can make you happy

You can get your graduate degree in any field you want.  It does not depend on your undergraduate.  Just make sure you meet the necessary prerequisites.  You might have to take an extra class or two to meet the requirements.  Good Luck!

Yes, you can use the degree if it is from an accredited and recognized university.  These days, many univerisities are offerring online programs, so it should not be too hard to find one that is suitable for your program of choice.  I know several people who have taken online bachelor degree and masters programs who are doing quite well in their fields.

Hey?  Have you completed your undergrad degree? What is it in? Do you have career goals that really call for an advanced degree?  Doctors need to do it.  An MBA?  If you get it from Harvard it can open doors.  \n\nWhy go to college at all?  It all depends upon your future plans.  If the advanced LEARNING will serve you, then, of course, you should do it.  On the other hand, are you just after a degree?  \n\nIt seems to me that if you are truly a student and the information that you'll learn from a post BA degree will be helpful, it's a no brainer.  Some folks have degrees from the School of Hard Knocks and are millionaires!  I'd guess that there are PhDs who can't balance a check book, too.\n\nIf you love learning.  Go to school. If you long for money, then go to work!\n\nMake sense?

It depends.\n\nMany medical schools issue two types of degrees.\n\nThe first, the M.D., is given to those who practice medicine. This is the doctor that you are used to seeing at the local hospital or clinic.\n\nThe second degree is the M.D. PhD. This degree is obtained by those who seek to conduct research in the field of medicine.\n\nIn a general sense, an M.D. would be considered a primary medical caregiver while an M.D. PhD would be considered a scientist. You will occasionally find those with an M.D. degree working in the field of research, though.

You can definitely do college.  I hate math too and I just finished my Master's Degree and have been accepted to start a Ph.D. in fall.  I majored in linguistics, which doesn't involve much math.  Many colleges do have some math requirements, but a lot of times you can take Logic instead of math.  Don't be afraid to use your professors' office hours if you have any questions.  They have to be there for them, so you might as well take advantage of them.

It would certainly be more difficult. I would look into your institutions PhD programs requirements since in many cases you can apply for some type of extension depending on your circumstances, but most places are going to require you to have made some significant progress in 3 years otherwise they may drop you from the program. Most likely it just means  your margin of error is a little bit smaller than otherwise.

Ph.D. is the highest degree.  \n\nI think your concept of the purpose of a Ph.D. is a little skewed.   A Ph.D. is not attained to have a market edge over everyone else.  It is also not to have certified superiority over everyone else.   It is to become more literate in your field.  \n\nAny credentials beyond a Ph.D. are demonstrated by your own original work.  There is only so long you can go to school before you need to start making up your own mind about things.  That is the point of a Ph.D. program.  It helps you become disciplined in your field to be proficient in the useful information in your specialty.  Then you should be able to create original non-trivial additions to that field.  Most People do not get Ph.D.s for the money.\n\nThere is, however, Post Doc work but that is just additional support to help the Ph.D. begin building his/her resume and create original work.  There is no degree awared for this work.\n\nIf fewer people know what you know does it make it less important?  I think not.  \n\nI for one think intellectual superiority is proven by merit not going to more classes and passing more tests.

I think Dr. is the right way to go. \nA Ph.D is a doctorate

You do NOT want an M.A., an M.Phil., or even a Ph.D. in Education if you plan to work in health care.  None of these degrees will qualify you for this type of work.\n\nDo you plan to be a physician, a nurse, a social worker or counselor for children in hospitals? \n\nIf you want to be a doctor, you must go to college and take pre-medical courses, earn your degree (a B.A. or B.Sc.) and then go to medical school.\n\nIf you want to be a nurse, you must go to a college with a nursing program and get a degree there.\n\nIf you want to be a social worker or counselor, you must go to college and get a degree in social work or psychology (a B.A. or B.S.W.).  You might then decide to go to graduate school and work toward an M.S.W. or a Master's degree in psychology.

Most likely very, very high percentage. \nLook at it this way:\n1 in 10 go to university.\nOf that graduating class, 1 in 10 go onto Master's.\nOf that graduating class, a further 1 in 10 will go onto Ph.D studies.\n\nIf you're applying without a graduate degree, if the school even allows that, you better have extremely exceptional marks in your entire undergraduate career.

What subject do you wish to get the doctorate in, and what subjects do you have your other degrees in?\n\nIn a sense, though, it doesn't matter. I strongly advise against any online Ph.D. program, accredited or not.  These degrees are not respected in academia at all.  You will not be able to teach at any respectable institution with an online doctorate.  Most people with doctorates will not consider you to have a doctorate.\n\nYou may want the Ph.D. to improve your work career. Be advised that this is unlikely for most Ph.D. fields. Even if you will get a raise (make sure this is guaranteed, as in some school districts for teachers), it is likely that the raise will not make up for the cost of obtaining the degree.\n\nOnline doctoral programs are designed to make money. Nearly all legitimate doctoral programs actually pay you to attend, assuming you're good enough to get in. The online doctorate (and most any other online degree) is for people who don't know better. Avoid it. Either do it properly--make the commitment to go back full-time--or don't do it at all.  If you have an employer willing to pick up the cost, I *still* wouldn't do it, but would get another relevant master's if possible (in IT, say, or an MBA or accounting degree). This will give you a better payoff for your investment, even if you're only investing time.  A doctorate should demand your complete attention. Full-time, it should take a minimum of three years, assuming your grad work counts, and more like five.

The only difference in the DPA and the PhD is the public, who mostly have no idea what a PhD is, will most certainly have no idea what a DPA is and will laugh at you if you even try to call yourself Doctor.  And the PhD's who are always playing second banana to the M.D.'s will treat the DPA like his degree is bull crap just like the MD's treat the PhD's\n\nThat, dear friend, is the only difference.   Get an MD or stop at a Master's.   Unless you're going to be a college professor the PhD is waste of time, effort and money and the DPA, EdD, PsyD and all the rest is just taking your time, money and effort and flushing it all down the toilet.  Nobody cares.   And, say what you want, if nobody cares it's totally worthless.
