What schools in NYC offer doctoral degree programs?
January 1st, 2009
I am a live sound engineer and I am doing my Master's in Architectural Acoustics (at a school that is 3 hours from my home). I own a production company, and we unfortunately can't relocate. The M.S. is only 8 months long, so I won't be away from the business for too long. The other owner will be maintaining everything. However, I can't stay for a PhD because if I do, I'll be away from the company for an extra 2-3 years.
Therefore, I won't be able to get a PhD at all unless I find a program that I like in the NYC area. I'm not sure what I want to study, since I have no hardcore academic background. I'm a musician and a live sound engineer, and my 2 Bachelor's degrees are in related fields. I have a 3.9 GPA, but I'm not great at math or science (ironically), and I don't want to study psychology or anything like that. I just really want to get a PhD. Any ideas? What schools in this area offer doctoral programs?
A few people I know got PhD's because they wanted to. Instead of bashing me because I feel like getting a PhD, just answer my question.
One friend completed the M.S./PhD combo in 3 years. At the school I'm doing my Master's at, the total residency requirement is 3 years. Not everyone takes 8 years to finish the PhD. I'm getting a PhD because I WANT to.
My original plan was to get the PhD. in Architectural Acoustics, just like the Master's degree.
I'm not sure you understand Ph.D. programs. Most of them take at least 4 years, and require that you don't work while working on the Ph.D. I'm not sure why you would want a Ph.D. unless it is your goal to become an academic, and that doesn't seem to be your goal. Believe me, a Ph.D. is NOT an advanced version of a master's degree, and it doesn't sound at all like something you would be interested in. The other problem is that you haven't said specifically what you want to get a Ph.D. IN, and it is certainly not something to be taken lightly. I've never heard of anyone getting a Ph.D. just to get one – it is a grueling process (mine took 8 years), and unless you are really passionate about the subject matter, you won't last.

I'm confused, why are you getting a phd?
Anyways, I'm pretty sure there are tons of schools in NYC that offer phds. I know NYU does, and there's more schools there than I can possibly think of. Just start researching phd programs that you are interested in and figure out which one s the best fit for you that is also in NYC. You dn't say what you want a phd in. That makes a huge difference as to whether there is a phd program for you available in NYC.
