      It is pretty hard to do a PhD without getting financial support from the school, and universities understand that! You get a monthly stipend and the tuition and health insurance is covered.
      The school either rejects an application or grants admission with funding guarantees. In some rare cases, it does grant admission but offers only a partial aid.

      Hey Meghana,
      A doctorate degree is the greatest academic honor; it signifies that you have mastered a particular field of study or vocation. Extensive study and articulation are required for the degree. This is how this degree usually works-

      Hey Jay,
      A doctorate degree is the greatest academic honor; it signifies that you have mastered a particular field of study or vocation. Extensive study and articulation are required for the degree.
      There are two types of doctorates-

      1. Research-Oriented Doctorate (PhDs)
      The most popular title for a Research-oriented (commonly known as PhD) doctorate is a Doctor of Philosophy.

      2. Professional Doctorate: an application-oriented program
      A professional doctorate (also known as an applied doctorate or terminal doctorate) is a degree that focuses on implementing a subject in real-world situations.

      Hey Myra!

      The answer depends on the path you choose. A doctorate degree requires at least 60 to 120 semester credit hours (or, approximately 20-40 college classes). The majority of PhDs take the full 120 hours, although most applied doctorates are on the lower end of the spectrum.

      The duration of the course also depends on the subject area you are pursuing and the type of program offered by the institution. A doctorate usually takes 4 to 6 years, whereas a PhD can take up to 8 years.

      Hey Tara!

      Some universities require SOP for undergraduate, Master of Science, and Master in Business Administration programs. They have similar guidelines but a slight difference in the context.

      An SOP for an undergraduate course requires students to focus on their childhood, interests, and hobbies. An SOP for the MS program should speak about the passion for the subject and goals. The SOP for MBA requires a brief about your managerial skills, leadership qualities, and life goals.

      In comparison, an SOP of a Ph.D. concentrates more on the research abilities and goals. In the SOP, you must show their research, time management skills, efficiency, and analytical and reasoning abilities.

      Read about all these points in detail here: Know how to write an SOP for Ph.D. a step by step guide.

      @Sana-Shaikh

      Hey Sana,
      While a Ph.D. focuses on academic research, a professional doctorate contributes significantly and uniquely to the advancement of professional practise. A professional doctorate is made up of coursework and a thesis of 70,000 to 100,000 words.

      @Sana-Shaikh

      Hey Sana,
      To be considered for a PhD without a Master's degree, you must have a Bachelor's degree. An appropriate bachelor's degree in a 3-year undergraduate study is normally required for those interested in pursuing a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) PhD. This is not the case for students interested in non-STEM PhD programs. Rather, students seeking doctorates in subjects such as the arts and humanities are often expected to hold a relevant Bachelor's degree from a four-year program.

      @Aaron-Malik

      Hey Aaron,

      Whether or not you need a Master’s degree for PhD depends on the particular program and institution. Generally, earning a Master's may make it easier to gain admission into a doctoral program, as gaining admittance is often highly competitive, and having an advanced degree is considered beneficial.

      Additionally, some programs require you to have earned your master's first before completing the Ph.D. However, there are also many schools that offer combined Master’s and Doctoral programs where you can earn both degrees simultaneously in relatively less time than it would take to get them separately.

      Furthermore, at certain institutions, if you have significant research or academic experience or have achieved professional success in your field of study, then you may be able to waive the requirement for earning a Master’s first. Ultimately it is best practice to review individual institution requirements and contact each school directly for further guidance as eligibility criteria differ from place to place.
