- Notes
- The problem with this department is that they usually accept their Master's degree students. Most applicants apply for a PhD and get admitted into the MA and then they apply to the PhD just after they finish some introductory courses; they do not need to finish their MA degree (this is stated in the department's website). In other words, you go there to build close relationships with the professors and then apply for admission before you finish your MA and the courses you take at the MA level will be transferred to your PhD. Applicants who are not MA students in the department have less opportunity to get admitted.
