Reply to comment by GaiasEyes in Eli5: what’s the difference between a graduate and undergraduate degree by deadpuppy101

You keep quoting your own anecdotal evidence. Your experience is incorrect. Master's degrees are required for PhD in many fields and universities around the world.

Source: I was required to get a Master's before my PhD in Canada and this is the norm at Canadian schools.

I’ve edited my response to state that this is a US view. Your response is also anecdotal to your country of study.

I'm not claiming that my anecdote is correct for everyone like you are.

I used my anecdote to prove your generalization was false.
