[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]International Relations is a terminal graduate-only program[/b], like law or medicine, so grad school matters more than undergrad (and it's a good candidate for graduating undergrad early to get there). [b]Terminal Masters degrees are diploma mills[/b] in subjects like science and humanities where undergrad and PhD are meaningful, and people get masters just to check a box for higher salary at (usually government) work. [/quote] [b]Almost every sentence in the above post is incorrect. [/b] A master's degree in IR is NOT a terminal degree; a PhD in IR is a terminal degree. Terminal masters degree programs are typically not "diploma Mills", but the writer of the post claiming so does not understand the meaning of a "terminal degree". (An MFA--masters in fine arts--is an example of a masters terminal degree.)[/quote]
