I am interested in pursuing a PhD at a North American university. Why should I choose CMUs MA program as my best preparation?
Many of the students who have enrolled in our program over the past several years did so because they did not receive offers of financial aid from any high-quality PhD programs prior to coming to CMU. These same students, upon completion of our program, were able to receive such offers (see our specific placement data above). More and more, an MA is being looked at as a requirement for admission into highly-ranked PhD programs.
