Why Americans Should Pursue a Doctorate Abroad

Here are a few reasons:

  • Lower tuition costs (my costs were $50.00 USD per semester, if you can believe that!).
  • It can take shorter than your typical U.S. program (I finished in 3 years).
  • You work with world-renowned experts in their field.
  • Less busy work. A LOT less.  
  • Immersing yourself in another culture and language (in my case German) fosters personal growth and language skills. 
  • You can distinguish your CV in a very competitive job market. 

Please give it some prayerful thought!
