what is the criterion for having a masters and PHD?

It depends what major you are pursuing. Generally, a bachelors is attained after 4 years, next comes a master's after roughly 2-3 years. A PhD is the professional degree. With that degree comes the title of Dr. of a certain field. A PhD is attained after extensive research. A panel of experts in the field evaluate the research and decide whether the candidate has sufficient knowledge to be awarded the PhD degree.

It is true that most Master's and M.A./Ph.D. programs will require a minimum cumulative GPA, usually a 3.0.\n\nHowever, sometimes exceptions can be made.  For instance, if your GPA in your major (and hence, in the area in which you intend to pursue Master's level studies) was well above 3.0, and it was just a class or two outside of your area of interest that brought down your cumulative GPA, you might still be able to find a Master's program that would admit you.\n\nI am a bit puzzled by the work experience part of your question, but perhaps you mention it because your interest is in an M.B.A.  The graduate program I direct is in the humanities, and work experience would not usually figure into any admissions decisions.

I agree completely. Scores range from 200-800 with 500 being around average. What score you need to get into grad school totoally depends on the program you are going into. For example. The average score of admitted applicants at the graduate school and program I am in (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, PhD Clinical Psychology) was 650 verbal and 710 Quantitative.

I don't know about the requirements for entry into a PhD but I do know that any non-native English speaker will have to demonstrate sufficent skill with the English language in order to fulfil their studies. The general requirements are a 6.5 in the IELTS examination or similar (TOEFL etc)

You MUST enter a doctoral program through an accredited graduate school to earn any type of doctoral degree, including the Ph.D. I'm sorry, but this is the way it is. You meet with a committee which monitors your progress. You also submit your final dissertation to this committee. Holding the title "DR" holds great prestige. There is no easy route.\n\nThe only exception is the "honorary doctorate." Occaisionally, universities give these to individuals who have distinguished themselves so greatly that they wish to honor them somehow. This is usually reserved for Nobel Prize Winners, etc.\n\nThe answer to your basic question is: no, you can't do that.\n\nHope this helps.

I second the person above me. To study a PhD is to study something from the root and you will be very good at that specific knowledge. So if you decide to do your career in that specific thing, you'd better get a PhD.\n\nHowever, if you would like to do something that will not require a PhD, you don't have to do it and that will give you time to consider a Master Degree in other thing. For me, I got a Master of Science and also have plan to get an MBA in the next 2 years as I found out that learning about Business is also exciting. \n\nSo I'll say you should find what you want to become first.

A PhD is a particular type of "doctorate."  There are plenty of other doctorate degrees out there.  You've seen MD (medical doctor) and DDS (doctor of dental science) around, they have a doctorate degree.  You typically see a PhD in the more acedemic fields.

PhD is a doctor of philosophy.  It is the highest degree one can get in any field.  You get a B.A. or B.S. in a field first, then you apply to graduate school.  Some universities require you to get a Master's degree, but most PhD programs start after the Bachelor's degree and will take you through the M.A. or M.S. as part of the Ph.D. track.  The Ph.D can take 5-7 years after the Bachelor's degree to complete.  The key element of the Ph.D. is the dissertation.  It is a piece of original research that you report on.  The typical Ph.D. dissertation is 200 pages long and takes 3-4 years to complete.

Oh my... <sigh> First, do you have a bachelor and masters degree?  If not, forget it.  Second, many schools will admit you for free for the PhD; however, you have to teach for them.  You should investigate this with individual schools.

Most likely very, very high percentage. \nLook at it this way:\n1 in 10 go to university.\nOf that graduating class, 1 in 10 go onto Master's.\nOf that graduating class, a further 1 in 10 will go onto Ph.D studies.\n\nIf you're applying without a graduate degree, if the school even allows that, you better have extremely exceptional marks in your entire undergraduate career.

It would be called a Certificate in Management. Certificate courses may run several weeks to a few months tops while the other degrees take longer to pursue. MBAs in traditional university setting takes 2 years of full load study. A PhD takes about 4 years because you need a MA (Master's Degree which lasts 2 years) before you are allowed to take Doctoral studies.
