I think your best option is to apply to a masters degree. These are easier to get into, especially for someone out of school for a few years. This is also an opportunity to find professors doing research in topics of your interest.
- sevensor 8y agoIt has it's plussses and minuses. One thing about a Ph.D. program is that it's relatively easier to get funded. Master's students are more likely to have to pay tuition. On the other hand, you can bang out an M.S. in two years. 1.5 in some cases. If what you're after is knowledge and skills, like a BS++, do a Master's. If you want to learn how to advance the field, do a Ph.D. If you're on a mission to fix undergraduate education, please be aware that the problems are deep and systemic, and you will probably not find your idealism welcome.
- Fomite 8y agoThat is indeed a major one - I can't fund a Masters student.
