MA vs. MS and getting in to PhD programs

[fouler657]

I'm currently working on my MS in a qualitative program. I've been looking into different PhD programs in Political Science, and I've noticed that most of the schools I'm interested in only have current grad students with MAs.

At my school, the difference between an MA and an MS in Political Science is that an MA has language requirements, while an MS requires "research tools." Is it the same everywhere else? Even though my research tools are mainly qualitative, I'm starting to panic that I won't be able to get in anywhere.

Help?

Don't sweat it. You'll be fine.
