purplepandas15 Posted November 10, 2020 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus_Aurelius Posted November 10, 2020 Share 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.
