How to Get a Doctorate

Earn a bachelor's degree. A PhD is the highest academic degree one can attain; thus, a prerequisite to attaining a PhD is the completion of a bachelors degree. A PhD applicant often holds a bachelor's degree in the same academic field in which she seeks the PhD. However, applicants may also hold a bachelor's degree in a related field, especially if the applicant has completed undergraduate coursework in the same area in which she seeks the PhD. For example, a social psychology PhD program may admit a student with an undergraduate degree in sociology, or a political science PhD program may admit a student with an undergraduate degree in history.
Write an undergraduate thesis. Although it is not universally required, writing an undergraduate thesis may help gain admission to a PhD program. Completing a thesis signals to a PhD program's admissions committee that the applicant is capable of producing academic research, which is the focus of a PhD program.
Assist a professor with his research. Serving as a research to assistant to an undergraduate professor may help a PhD applicant become a more desirable candidate. If a PhD applicant assists with research as an undergraduate, usually the professor who the applicant assisted can provide a strong letter of recommendation in support of the PhD student's application.
