Stanford psychology "coterminal masters degree"

[explodingtoenail]

<p>From Stanford’s Psychology Department website:</p>

<p>

While we do not offer a terminal Masters degree program, we do have a coterminal Masters program for students accepted and enrolled in our Ph.D. program.

</p>

<p>What does this mean? Does it mean that students in the PhD program will get a masters along the way?</p>

[bluebayou]

<p>yes, that is exactly what it means. And, of course, students who drop out of the PhD program will get an MA on the way out the door.</p>

<p>Ah okay. Thanks!</p>
