docjourney Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Has anyone here applied to more than one program in the same school? I was hoping to apply a Ph.D program and a M.A. program for backup in the same college. GOOD or BAD idea?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeee1923 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 If you can afford it, there's no problem with doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleene Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Though some programs automatically consider you for the MA if you do not get in for the PhD, or have an option for you to indicate that you want to be considered for the MA. You might want to check whether your school does that before paying double fees. docjourney and scarvesandcardigans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarvesandcardigans Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Some schools state that you can't apply for different degrees within the same program, some, as other posts have mentioned, consider for the MA if it's a PhD application, and some might even indicate on the application whether or not you want to be considered for the MA if you are applying for the PhD. One of my professors told me that if this is what I was interested in to apply for the PhD and indicate that I would like to be considered for the MA as well, if it were possible/not already an option on the application. Just be sure to check first! Good luck! docjourney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juilletmercredi Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I did this, and the program figured out pretty quickly that I wanted the PhD and was applying to the MPH as a backup. docjourney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
