But PhD in USA doesn't require master level education but Europe does. That's a big difference.
But actually I mostly agree with you. PhD should be focused on apprenticeship and nothing else.
- arethuza 4y agoThe UK doesn't require a master's degree before doing a PhD - at least it didn't back in the 1980s/1990s....
- red-iron-pine 4y agoMany PhD programs in the US take ~5 years or more, and often hand out "boilerplate" Master's degrees in the process. Source: saw it happen a bunch at big state schools in California, and heard of similar things in VA, and NY schools.
- mnky9800n 4y agoif you do a 2 years master degree and a 4 year phd that takes 6 years. that is a reasonable expectation in Norway (Where i did my phd).
- jonathanstrange 4y agoWhat? You can do a 2 years master degree in Norway? I studied in Germany and 2 years could only get you a B.A., 4 years was the absolute minimum for an M.A. or equivalent degree. But perhaps this has changed.
- mnky9800n 4y agothe student has BS degree before they start MS. so 3 years for BS and 2 for MS.
