graduate school requirements

[Lao Tzu]

My older brother has a bachelors in telecommunications. He ended up getting a masters in ad. marketing, but he told me he could have gotten a masters or Ph.D. in psychology. On some educational channel a month ago there was a guy with a Ph.D. in biotechnology who had a bachelors in history.


Does anyone know where i can find info on what credits you need in order to get into specific graduate school careers? i'm kinda new to the whole college things, is there a book?

Like med school, in indiana you need to gain in undergrad

1 year physics
2 years natural sciences
1 year english
etc.

etc. Is there an info source i can look up that shows how many years/credit hours of subjects you need to pursue a specific graduate degree?

Depend where you go to.

In my field to get into ours domain you need a BA or MA in the actual domain, exception
of military and government officials.

I might end up at Queen's to end up my graduate career.


Actually in my field now, to get into the superior rank you need a Phd, my former CO was also a Phd, sometime I wondered if I had to call him Sir, Major or Doc, he end up has Major Doc

depends on what you're taking but generally you can... it just depends. they take students from the area first generally.

also you often have to pick up core classes if it's out of your area.

It depends on the University.

I have a buddy who went to uconn studied chinese, masters in MIS and PhD in Psychology from harvard.

He works in the nsa, go figure.

Everyone's promoting interdisciplinary studies now, so it's not unsual to see mix-and-match undergrad/grad degrees. Most good schools with interesting programs want a diverse background.

Sometimes the interdisciplinary route is a headache. For example, Emory here in Atlanta offered me a full fellowship with stipend but was going to require me to stand for doctoral comps in THREE departments. No thank you. I'd rather set myself on fire.

My one piece of advice is to find a program that combines the master's and the doctoral tracks. You'll save youself a lot of time and money. (No, I didn't do that.)

interdisciplinary is BS, we can see the difference between someone that did his full curiculum and one that has different fields.

Which is why a good school makes you stand for comps in more than one dept. if you do interdisc. studies.

remind me to tell that to the comparative literature, regional studies and history of science departments.
