Hooman08 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Is it OK to apply to a communication Ph.D program in U.S. or Canada with a master's in psychology or any other non-communication degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenxpenguins Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I have a B.S. in Psychology and will be starting a Communication PhD in the Fall, so it is definitely okay to apply! Hooman08 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooman08 Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 @goldenxpenguins Glad to hear that ! How did you manage to get into a PhD program without a master's degree? did you have any publication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenxpenguins Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks! I did have a first-author manuscript under review at the time that I was applying, but I think what helped was my research experience, CV, essays, LORs, etc. Also, none of the programs that I applied to required applicants to have a Master's degree.

There are "straight"-to-PhD programs where you get your MA on your second year after completing your thesis, then continue with the PhD program afterwards with the completion of additional courses and of course dissertation.
