[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes a JD or PharmD, say, an MLS, MBA, MSW, MFA, M.Arch. etc. so fundamentally different that they get "doctoral" degrees? There is no original research component for any of these degrees. Degree inflation?[/quote] You do a thesis for doctoral degree; you don't for master degrees: http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-a-phd.htm It really all depends on what you want to be when you grow up. [/quote] So why do they give out the Juris Doctor, Doctor of Pharmacy, etc.? [/quote]
