CorvusCorvus Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Are these cohorts of both masters and PhD students, or combined programs? My university will accept up to 15-20 MA students a year, and 4-5 PhD students. The cohorts are often smaller, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigley Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) My response of 13 students applied to PhD only. My program doesn't accept terminal masters students. I think this applies to many others as well. Edited July 1, 2013 by Quigley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzrap Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 12-14 for my program for at least the past three years; a number of years back it was closer to 18-20. I like how the acronym for the program that collected OSU's data is PRISM. So does this mean your school has been admitting fewer applicants??

RWBG Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 So does this mean your school has been admitting fewer applicants?? I think so. As I understand it, we used to admit something like 8-10%, but in the past few years have hovered around 5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzrap Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I think so. As I understand it, we used to admit something like 8-10%, but in the past few years have hovered around 5%. Sigh. My guess is that the whole discipline is cutting funding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this applies to many others as well. In many countries outside of the US, the masters and PhD are distinct; many people continue from the masters to the PhD at the same school, while others will apply to different universities for the PhD (this is more common). My understanding is that the entire idea of a terminal masters (unless it's a professional masters) is somewhat more unique to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
