Is there a U.S. undergraduate degree similar to Cambridge's Natural Sciences?

How can I obtain a Ph.D. degree in biological sciences from an accredited Americaqn university?

  • I hold a B.S. degree from an American university outside the United States of America. I obtained the said degree in 1966. I have 33 years of teaching experience in biological sciences in one of the most accredited universities in my country. I am the author of five books. My books are currently being taught at accredited state universities nationwide. I am officially retired at the moment; however, I am teaching legally and officially at two state universities in my country on hourly basis. Since hourly payment depends on the degree one holds the higher the degree the higher the higher the payment.

  • Answer:

    I assume from your question that you are not an American citizen. If you want to study in the US, you have to apply for a student visa after you will have been accepted into a graduate program. If you can prove that you have sufficient funds for paying the tuition fees and support yourself you probably will get a visa, though depending on the country you are from it is not guaranteed (I had a chinese friend who studied in England because they wouldn't give her a visa for the US). I don't know anything about American Universities outside of the US, if you have one in your country which offers PhD programs I would think that would be much easier for you (at least you would have a much easier time to stay in contact with all your friends). However, for it will take you probably 5 years as a full time student to earn your PhD (and that is if your are pretty fast). During that time you will earn very little, and only if your advisor can affort to pay you or you can get a scholarship. As it does sound like you would retire in the non to distant future anyway, I don't think it will make finacial sense to get a PhD. If you want to do it because you enjoy it, that's fine, but I don't think eventual higher earnings would offset the cost in your case.

Apply for a Ph. D. program in Bio Sciences at an accredited American university, study, pass, and make more money.

First of all, you'll have to be accepted to a graduate school at a university. Different universities have different specific requirements for acceptance to graduate school. It then requires additional coursework, though the specific amount varies from university to university, and a dissertation (naturally, one consisting of original research, which adds something to the body of knowledge about the field), which must then be defended to a board composed of (in this case) PhDs in Biological Sciences (or a related field). As someone studying to be a fellow biologist (and hopefully, a PhD myself, someday), best of luck!
