  1. I did not even realize I could enter an MA program without the 2nd bachelor's degree in History. Thanks for the help!!
  2. Hi! I have decided to go back and get a second bachelor's degree in my original major, History. With the credits I already have it seems that I will be able to start this coming spring and graduate after the summer. Would I be able to apply for PhD or Master programs that start next fall? I know many of the deadlines are in December, but I don't know how they would view me applying without even starting the degree yet even though by the fall it would be completed. I don't mind waiting until the following cycle. However, if I can get in sooner rather than later I would like to. Thanks for all of your help!
  3. Thanks! That was my initial feeling. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't looking at it the wrong way.
  4. Hello everyone. This is my first time posting in the forum. I just started a MA in political science for spring. My school has a Thesis and a Non-thesis 3 professional with 2 extra classes option. I was all set to choose the thesis option until I finally was able to sit down with my advisor. She really pushed for the non-thesis option. I told her my goal was to pursue a PhD after completing my Masters, but she still insisted on the other option. Then I believe she let out the real reason they push the option. She said that before they started this option they had a low completion rate. To me this means this is why they push it so hard, because she said that three 25 page papers are a lot easier to complete compared to the large project that is a thesis. I really think a thesis would be really beneficial to show PhD programs, along with a good gpa, gre scores, and LORs. My question is which option should I go with? I feel my advisor, being the co-chair of the school, is biased on the matter. I am leaning towards the thesis option. Thank you all in advance!!!
