So it is possible to apply to PhD program with a masters at a different university? I read a few school's websites, and I was under the impression that most PhD programs include a masters degree as part of their curriculum.

I ought to add that my focus is existentialism and continental thought.

Hello, I'm new. So, here's my predicament. I didn't study philosophy in college. My degree is in humanities, with a focus in the classics and heavy coursework in religion. However, since graduating, philosophy has consumed more and more of my time and efforts. Now, I'd like to study it at the graduate level and become a professor. I know that graduates from top programs are the most likely to get hired, but I feel like I need to develop my coursework before I can expect to be admitted to a strong, employable program. My question is: would it be wise to complete an MA at a lesser-known state school to develop my resume before moving on to a good doctoral program? Is such a thing even possible? Forgive my ignorance, I'm very new to this process. Any advice would be cherished.
