Applying to both MA and PhD in the same department?

[redigloos]

I haven't taken the GRE yet (scheduled for August), or even begun any of my applications, so maybe this is a stupid question.

 

If I am applying to both MA and PhD programs in the same department, then do I need to give them any sort of notice so they know they will need to use my GRE scores and letters twice? I'm guessing (hoping) I don't need to send 2 copies of the GRE score.

Email the department and ask them but I would assume once is enough.I'd be more concerned that it would make them hesitant to admit you as a PhD student if you're also applying for their masters degree.

Why would apply to both within the same department? A lot of schools will consider you for the masters if they don't think you're qualified for the PhD. Read over the application. It may even ask if you want to be considered for the masters if not admitted to the PhD.

yes I dont think you will be allowed apply in both Masters and doctor's program at the same time either you are qualified to be a master's candidate or a doctoral candidate.
