suggestmeaname

thanks for your answersss everyone im keeping my options open !

Thank you for the advice !

Hello, yeah people might have misunderstood my thread when they saw my other threads, but this was just to let the people reading this realize I have already applied to master's program and would EVENTUALLY do my master's (there is no way I could apply for another direct phd program at this point in time in my personal case). Because I assumed many people reading this would suggest me to go straight to PhD thinking I still have the chance or opportunity to do so (when actually i cant) and maybe give answers that I already know. I figured it would be difficult and too lenghty to state my personal reason and so I just posted that I have already completed a masters, just to make it CLEAR to the audience (So they would reply with the information I am looking for). This was the first post I wrote and I was thinking I could get more answers in the latter posts by stating a clearer point of view (my situation right now and will be in the future) So if ever some people here thinks I am misunderstood...I am not, and to some of the people who thinks I'm a fraud I am not :DDD Just tried a different strategy in posting threads to get more diverse and informative answers (And I sure did ! )

Thanks~ took note of it! I'll do my research

Thank you for your advice I'll keep that in mind It was a big help for me!

Helloo Gradcafe peopleeee I got some questions about quantitative psychology. 1. Do you know any schools that offer this phd program?? Not in the US, I need schools from Asia, Australia, Europe and the others Got any ideas? if you do please share! it would be a big opportunity to start my study 2. Do you how long the phd in quantitative psychology takes?(with a master's degree) The next question is not related to quanti psych.. 3. The schools who have a phd degree program for 3 years....can it be done less than 3 years? coz from what I have read, it says that the phd program 's duration is 3 years in 'maximum' So for those who are currently taking their phd program in psychology, do you think it is possible to finish it before 3 years? (I'm talking about schools outside the US) Hope you can share informations with me It would really be a big help <3 Thank you in advance to everyone !

1. For those who are currently enrolled and/or finished with their PhD program in Psychology in the US How long did it take you? How long do you think it will take? 2. What would you do if you were me? I already gotten a master's degree in psychology (major in personality and social). Now I am planning to go abroad to get my PhD (particularly in the US). But most PhD programs in the US requires an additional master's thesis even if I have one, which takes 5-6 years to finish. And I think thats too long to finish, and somehow waste of time...(I already have my master's). But I found some schools in the UK or Australia which have a PhD program in 3 years length.So I am thinking from the two kinds of programs. Personally I prefer going to the US because it was my dream since I was a fresh undergraduate, also my friends attend school there, and my parents also prefer me going to the US if ever I have my goals set to get a PhD abroad. Nevertheless, I have no discrimination against other schools around the world, it is just that my parent's preference is getting into my nerves, its making me hesitant to apply to degrees elsewhere. my priorities in looking at the program: a. the program itself ofcourse (research fit) b. length of program (preferrably 3 years) c. big opportunities for scholarships and TA/RA but the biggest would be the length of time. Are there any schools in the US that offers a PhD program in psychology without requirements for masters and straight PhD? Are there any advices for me out there? Please help gradcafe seniors! I need your wisdom Thank youuuuuuu t.t

Thank you for that information

Thank you for the advice, but would you know the schools offering those programs? those schools that interviewed you and confirmed that they would accept your master's thesis. If you do know, could you please message me? Thank you ~

I have already applied to master's here in the area where I am living in. I am not from the US and I have no been to the US..I am somehow worried and not ready to send any application form to the schools in the US. So I was thinking I would have a little taste of tedious researching first (doing my master's degree) here in my hometown and then genuinely start my PhD with sufficient knowledge and planning of what I am going to do in the future while doing my PhD

yes I agree thanks for the advice

Hi, I am a fresh college graduate with the dream to pursue my PhD in the US. My field of intertest is Psychology, mainly in Social and personality. I am planning to take my master's in psychology first, and then do my PhD in the States But as I searched for PhD programs in prestigeous schools around United States, sad to say all PhD programs in the US were 5-years long or more... even if you have a master's degree. That means if I ever get into a PhD program with a master's degree, I should submit a master thesis AGAIN during the first few years of the program. Are the things I'm saying right? However I have seen some school that allow credit transfer..but does that mean I will be able to finish it in a lesser time right?? I kind of think it is a waste of time to continue studying 5 MORE YEARS when I already have a certified master's degree. So, does anyone know a prestigious school that offers a PhD program that can be finished in less than 5 years? meaning schools that offer ADVANCED STANDING (for students who apply with a master's degree). I hope there ARE schools that I am looking for. I just need the list of schools that may grant me an advanced standing in the PhD program..(preferably the renowed ones heheh) Please help me look for schools that do Thank you Gradcafe Seniors !!
