What is the student interested in?
Our clinical (Cognitive Behavioral) MA program is not a terminal degree; we place most of our graduates in doctoral programs.
Paul (and others),
By terminal I meant that the program does not itself offer the PhD, but prepares students for the PhD at another institution. A good program like this will, in addition to good classwork, involve students in research/consulting/practice that helps them prepare a competitive application to PhD programs.
This does describe our program.
However, the term 'terminal' Masters is often used to describe a program intended to prepare students who do _not_ intend to get a doctorate for practice.
