Is this true about what the students receive in a doctoral program? I was researching some information on a doctoral program since a friend I knew went into one last year, and was wondering if anyone else can corroborate what I found: - the tuition is waived for the student during their entire term - the student receives compensation while working as a research assistant or T.A. - the student receives free room and board at a dorm - the student receives an annual stipend to help pay for other costs - the student has to maintain a certain GPA in order to keep said benefits - one drawback being that the student sacrifices several years of good income while attending the program. Wow, free tuition and free roam and board while getting a great degree, what more can a student ask for. (And here I was worried that my friend might be stretched money-wise while going to school, like so many other current MBA students that I know). Can anyone corroborate this info? Why does the doctoral program do this and not an MBA program?

What factors would you consider in making such a decision? Thanks.

Are departments biast and just choose people they want in the doctoral program without an interview? I am applying for my doctoral degree. I had to go through an interviewing process in front of a committee. However, I feel that no matter how well I presented myself, one person looked at the walls, and the other person kept staring at his watch. The next day, I asked 2 other doctoral applicants if they got into the doctoral program. Both were never interviewed but said they just got in there because they knew people in the department. I do not think that this is fair to let some candidates in without the formal process. Is it true that the applicant screening is about favoritisim? Please let me know your experiences if you got rejected or not.
Would a clinical psychology doctoral program look at your masters in social work GPA? I'm stressing myself beyond belief to maintain a 4.0 GPA in my masters program. I'm being told I don't need to worry that much, but I think I do. Clinical Psychology PhD programs are extremely selective. I'm sure they look at other factors like experience, organizations with which you're involved, admissions essays, and your interest in research, but is it necessary to maintain a 4.0 GPA?

How long is a typical doctoral degree program in psychology? I understand experience is the sought after part as well as education. I considered just getting my masters, but I understand the state may require more, and I would be under the supervision of a higher degree. Technically that's fine I guess until I decide if I want to become more fully involved. I don't see me taking on the more severe disorders until I have enough experience, and education; I consider something like this to be serious as it is important, so confidence is key. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Currently in a Masters program, want to stop courses and apply to doctoral program or another masters program.? I am currently in a masters psychology program. My ultimate goal is to get a PhD/PsyD in clinical psychology. I currently don't like the masters program I am in and want to terminate early. It is overpriced and focuses too much on cultural issues instead of psychopathology and mental disorders. Have other people done this? Is this ok?

Is there a doctoral program in education/school counseling that I can afford? I have a B.A. in Psychology, a M.S.Ed in special education, and 30 additional credits including NJ state certification as a school counselor, and courses in literacy. I am 54 with 32 years in public education and a child in college and am looking to earn a doctorate in education or school counseling but I have very limited funding. Most doctoral programs, in class and online, seem to accept only about 3 courses and then charge about 10-15K for the remaining coursework. On top of my son's college costs, this is impossible. I am looking for a university that would accept all 30 of my post-masters credits toward a doctorate and/or would exchange me teaching classes for tuition credit toward my doctorate. I also wonder if I can get any credit for my work experience. I am in the southern NJ area. Is there a way I can apply all I have already accomplished to abbreviate the time and reduce the cost of earning a doctorate?

What amount of research experience is needed to be considered for a PhD program in Clinical Psychology? I will be getting my Master's in August 2008, and am now looking around at doctoral programs. I'm kind of worried because I don't have much research experience. Aside from a small research project in my undergrad years (hardly anything even worth mentioning) and the thesis that I just started, I won't really be bringing much to the table in terms of experience. My advisor simply said "get some research experience." With a full load and a thesis in the works, I'm not really sure how to do that before graduation! Will a completed thesis be enough to be considered (and hopefully accepted) into a PhD (or possible PsyD) program? I appreciate your help!

Can a Phd program be completed in 2 years? I am done with my masters and I need to know if I can complete a PhD in 2 years if I rush against time, is it a possibility at all? I will start my courses this fall (06) and is their any chance I can finish by summer of 2008. Is their a technical limitation on the minimum number of years you have to enrol in a doctoral program before graduating? Thanks for all responses so far! Actually, I am not worried about the coursework, load etc etc because I am for all practical purposes a recluse and a workaholic. My concern is mainly if it is allowed legally? Again, Can a graduate (finished masters) complete PhD in two years?
