Hi all,
I'm hoping to get some advice on whether I should apply to PhD programs this coming fall.
I am currently finishing my last year of undergrad (taking a gap year) and my goal is to get a PhD in modern/contemporary Japanese art eventually. However, it seems that most top phd programs only take folks that already have an MA. So is applying for PhD programs just going to be a waste of application fees for me, and that I should only apply for MAs?
I am writing a thesis on a contemporary Japanese artist, fluent in Japanese and Chinese, and have some internship experiences at museums, if these matter.
Thank you in advance and best of luck to people that are waiting for admission results now!
