    Where do you need a Masters to attain a PhD? Honest question, I just never heard of it before.

    My wife attained her MD/PhD from the University of Chicago/Pritzker and does not have a Masters. She’s on the MD/PhD committee for her university and they do not require anything other than a BS in the field of study.

    With that said, it probably isn’t much of a stretch to just get a Masters in the way to a PhD.

    Me? I’m depriving some poor village of its idiot. I have a BS and that’s it.

        I get that this is the Internet.

        But how about this one time, we all converse as adults.

        How does that sound?

        An adult response would have been:

        “Virtually all European universities require a Masters to attain a PhD.”

        This is Lemmy and not Reddit after all.
