<p>Apart from the absence of graduate research opportunities what are some of the pros and cons of attending a university where a doctorate is not offered? Specifically, universities such as MSOE, SJSU, or Rose-Human Institute of Technology. I’m very split on choosing a university that offers a doctorate or not :-? Correct me if I’m wrong but, I’m assuming going to a university that offers a doctoral degree makes the transition (assuming I into want to attend grad school after I receive my undergrad degree) to a graduate program easier.</p>
