PhD Degrees

 

A PhD's degree is a post-graduate degree that follows the completion of a bachelor degree. Notwithstanding, an increased level of difficulty and rigor, a master's degree typically only takes two years to complete compared to four years for a bachelor’s degree. A PhD degree is a logical progression in one's education and career preparation. While a bachelor degree is the degree of choice among employers looking to fill entry-level positions, more and more professions now require a phd degree as an entry-level qualification. The most common reasons for pursuing a master degree include the following:

  • qualify for entry-level positions
  • qualify for career advancement opportunities
  • increase skill set and knowledge
  • maximize earning potential
  • set apart from competing professionals
