In the context of academic degrees, the term "philosophy" does not refer solely to the field of philosophy, but is used in a broader sense in accordance with its original Greek meaning, which is "love of wisdom". In most of Europe, all fields other than theology, law, and medicine were traditionally known as philosophy, and in Germany and elsewhere in Europe the basic faculty of (liberal) arts was known as the faculty of philosophy.
The doctorate of philosophy as it exists today thus originated as a doctorate in the liberal arts at the Friedrich-Wilhelms Universität, the buildings of which are today used by the Humboldt University of Berlin, becoming common in large parts of the world in the 20th century.[2] History[edit] In the universities of Medieval Europe, study was organised in four faculties: the basic faculty of arts, and the three higher faculties of theology, medicine, and law (canonical and civil). Requirements[edit] Value and criticism[edit] Degrees across the globe[edit]
Candidate of Philosophy. Candidate of Philosophy is any of the following academic degrees: a Bachelor's level, Master's level, higher than Master's level, or Doctorate level degree, depending on the country. [citation needed] In the United States[edit] The usual practice in the United States is for a graduate student working toward a doctorate to earn a master's degree (usually Master of Arts or Master of Science) in course after about two years of coursework.
In a very few universities, a student who has completed all of the coursework, all of the comprehensive examinations in the subject and all of the language examination requirements, and whose dissertation topic has been approved - in short, who has fulfilled all requirements for the doctorate except the writing and defense of the dissertation itself - may be awarded a Master of Philosophy degree, beyond the Master of Arts or Master of Science already earned. In other universities, such students used the informal designation of Ph.D. Europe[edit] Sweden[edit] All but dissertation. "All but dissertation" (ABD) is a term identifying a stage in the process of obtaining a research doctorate in the United States. Overview[edit] In typical usage of the term, the ABD graduate student has completed the required preparatory coursework, passed any required preliminary and comprehensive examinations, and met all other requirements except for the research requirements, typically including the writing and defense of a dissertation.[1] A student attaining this level may be granted a formal Candidate in Philosophy degree or status at a few institutions.
Some universities, including Columbia, Yale and George Washington, may award a formal Master of Philosophy (M.Phil. or MPhil) degree for these achievements.[2][3][4] The use of ABD or the similar PhD(c) for PhD candidate (also PhD-c or PhDc) as a credential has been condemned as potentially misleading by some writers as the terms are not widely understood outside of academia[5][6] or indeed outside of the USA. References[edit] Terminal degree. A terminal degree is a university degree that is either highest on the academic track or highest on the professional track in a given field of study. The phrase "terminal degree" is used heavily in the United States, but is used less often outside of North America. The term is not generally used in the United Kingdom or Canada, for example, and its exact meaning varies somewhat between those areas and disciplines in which the term is used.
An earned academic (or research) doctorate[1] such as a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is considered the terminal degree in most academic fields of study in the United States. However, professional doctorates may be considered terminal degrees within the professional degree track, even though they are prerequisites for research degrees. In addition, in some countries there are degrees which are more advanced than the PhD, such as the higher doctorates in the United Kingdom and Russia, and the habilitation degree awarded in Germany. Research degrees[edit] Doctor of Management. Doctor of Management (D.M.) [edit] The Doctor of Management (D.M.) or D.Mgt. is both a research and professional doctoral degree (when a full five-chapter doctoral dissertation is required) awarded on the basis of advanced study and research in the science and practice of management.[1] The D.M. was introduced at Case Western Reserve in 1995,[2] and several universities have since developed their own programs.
The program is equivalent in research to a PhD in management, but in addition to research, is focused on developing the talents, skills and abilities of organization executives and experienced management professionals.[2] The doctor who holds this degree may practice within this professional academic discipline at universities, public or private research facilities, or as private-practice professional consultants. D.M. versus Ph.D. [edit] Program Structure[edit] Doctoral Management Specialties[edit] A D.M. degree is a doctorate which can be awarded in many areas of concentrated study. PhD in Management. PhD in management is the highest academic degree awarded in the study of management science. The degree was designed for those seeking academic research and teaching careers as faculty or professors in the study of management at business schools worldwide.[1] The Ph.D. in Management Degree[edit] Business doctoral programs[edit] A PhD degree is a doctor of philosophy which can be obtained in many areas of study, while a PhD in management is specific to the study of research questions with potential relevance to the business world.
A PhD in management or business is often required for those interested in pursuing an academic career as a professor at a business school.[2] Business schools often require faculty to hold a Ph.D. and to engage in research.[3] Business school rankings are often heavily influenced by the proportion of faculty with Ph.D. degrees or doctorates.[4] Research is fundamental to the integrity of a graduate educational institution. Brief history[edit] Careers[edit] List of fields of doctoral studies in the United States. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is the list of the fields of doctoral studies in the United States used for the annual Survey of Earned Doctorates, conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago for the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies, as used for the 2015 survey.[1] These are fields of research-oriented doctoral studies, leading mostly to Ph.D.s – in the academic year 2014–15, 98% of the 55,006 research doctorates awarded in the U.S. were Ph.D.s; 1.1% were Ed.D.s; 0.9% were other research doctorates.[2] Professional degrees, though they are also considered doctorates (earned, not honorary), and do entitle the holder to call themselves "Doctor", such as D.D.S., D.Min., M.D., D.Pharm., D.V.M, J.D., Psy.D., and Th.D., are not included in the survey.[3] Foreign languages and literature [edit] Research and administration Business management/administration Fields not elsewhere classified A Taxonomy of Doctoral Research Fields by the United States National Academies.

I’m going to give some advice and demystify the process of US admissions a bit. I also address the question “Would you be my advisor if I apply?” Since I can’t respond in detail to most emails, I hope this post answers your questions. I won’t demystify entirely, because uniform applications are unhelpful to us reviewers. But I do want to make the application process easier to understand, both to make it easier for people like me to decipher your application, and also to level the playing field. Undergraduates at the top research institutions have the advantage of advisors who already give them this advice.
First, some caveats. If you are applying to economics, you absolutely must heed the following: Nearly all of Athey and Mankiw’s advice applies equally well to aspiring political scientists who want to do political economy or development work, and indeed almost any of the applied empirical fields in politics. Should you do a PhD? Why? Where should I go? 2006 - (THEA) The impact of working context and support on the postgraduate research student learning experience. The four main approaches - Types of research - Understanding dementia research - Research - Alzheimer Europe. Quantitative research Quantitative research is generally associated with the positivist/postpositivist paradigm.
It usually involves collecting and converting data into numerical form so that statistical calculations can be made and conclusions drawn. The process Researchers will have one or more hypotheses. These are the questions that they want to address which include predictions about possible relationships between the things they want to investigate (variables). In order to find answers to these questions, the researchers will also have various instruments and materials (e.g. paper or computer tests, observation check lists etc.) and a clearly defined plan of action. Data is collected by various means following a strict procedure and prepared for statistical analysis.
The results of statistical analyses are presented in journals in a standard way, the end result being a P value. Principles Objectivity is very important in quantitative research. Qualitative research Principles. Exploratory Research. Exploratory research is research conducted for a problem that has not been clearly defined. It often occurs before we know enough to make conceptual distinctions or posit an explanatory relationship.[1] Exploratory research helps determine the best research design, data collection method and selection of subjects.
It should draw definitive conclusions only with extreme caution. Given its fundamental nature, exploratory research often concludes that a perceived problem does not actually exist. Exploratory research often relies on secondary research such as reviewing available literature and/or data, or qualitative approaches such as informal discussions with consumers, employees, management or competitors, and more formal approaches through in-depth interviews, focus groups, projective methods, case studies or pilot studies. The Internet allows for research methods that are more interactive in nature. Exploratory research is not typically generalizable to the population at large. Testing-Out Research. Dr. Estelle M. Phillips' own PhD entitled 'The PhD as a Learning Process' was completed at University College London. Throughout her career she has published on aspects of the PhD and spoken about the skills required to complete and supervise a PhD to research students and academic staff in universities of four continents.
Her travels include being involved in discussions concerning the introduction of a European doctorate and the transformation of the Australian PhD. Professor Derek S. Problem Solving Research. Problem solving consists of using generic or ad hoc methods, in an orderly manner, for finding solutions to problems. Some of the problem-solving techniques developed and used in artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, mathematics, medicine, etc. are related to mental problem-solving techniques studied in psychology. Definition[edit] The term problem-solving is used in many disciplines, sometimes with different perspectives, and often with different terminologies.
For instance, it is a mental process in psychology and a computerized process in computer science. Problems can also be classified into two different types (ill-defined and well-defined) from which appropriate solutions are to be made. Ill-defined problems are those that do not have clear goals, solution paths, or expected solution. Well-defined problems have specific goals, clearly defined solution paths, and clear expected solutions. Psychology[edit] Clinical psychology[edit] Cognitive sciences[edit] Europe[edit]
