purplepandas15 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Is it OK to apply to PhD programs after only 1 semester of MA work to begin the PhD program the following academic year? Or does this look bad since one is not finishing the MA program?
Marcus_Aurelius Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 I imagine this situation is relevant similar to transferring between PhD programs. If you can frame a compelling reason why your MA program isn't a good fit and a PhD program would be, can probably work. But if you went into an MA because you didn't have enough philosophy in undergrad, for instance, or the MA program is a great fit, then not completing the MA might look odd.
