Doctorate Degrees from the USA
A doctorate degree or Ph.D is the highest academic degree, which is awarded to the students for undertaking academic research. It demonstrates expertise in a particular subject and indicates that the earner is able to conduct and present research of a scholarly nature. The doctorate program can be taken up after the Masters degree.
Master's degree prior to doctorate degree is preferred because a Master's degree holder comprehends the subject quite well than a student who is going for a Doctorate degree straight after undergraduate degree. Some doctorate degrees prepare graduates for work in a particular field, such as a Doctor of Education or Doctor of Musical Arts. These degrees may not involve as much original research, though they still require a sound thesis. It usually takes 3 to 6 years to complete a doctorate program.
Doctorate degree is of three types:
- Research doctorate
- Professional doctorate
- Honorary doctorate
