| Jul 21, 2013 at 1:10 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | Recently was I asked to check into the possibility of this in my department (mathematics, University of Georgia): is there a specific regulation against admitting a student into our PhD program who already held a doctoral degree in mathematics? The answer turned out to be no. (This is not to say that I endorse the practice or would necessarily have wanted to admit a student under such circumstances.) | |

| May 13, 2013 at 3:54 | comment | added | Shion | @Suresh If you referring to the IIMs, don't they technically grant a PGP degree and not a MBA per se (by a quirk of governmental bureaucracy) and are thus, able to get escape the no-MBA requirement? I like your cynicism (and share it) so +1. :D | |
| May 12, 2013 at 15:10 | comment | added | Suresh | Not entirely true. I know of many people who got an MBA from the top management schools in India, discovered that the value of this degree isn't so great on the international scene, and did another MBA in the US or elsewhere. My cynical side thinks that an institution granting a professional degree merely wants your money in exchange for the certification, and doesn't care about your prior qualifications. | |
| Feb 21, 2013 at 23:28 | comment | added | JeffE | This is, in fact, a general rule. American universities will not give degree X in field Y to someone who already has degree X in field Y. You already have an MBA? Then you can't get another MBA. You already have an MS in applied math? Then you can't get another MS in applied math. You already have a PhD in business admin? Then you can't get another PhD in business admin. | |
