Should I get a masters before a PhD CS?
@BonnieKlein No, it doesn’t. On the other hand, at least for computer science in the US, course-based master’s degrees are not intended to be preparation for PhD programs. If your eventual goal is a PhD, you want a research master’s program, and you want to publish before you finish it.
Do you need a master before a PhD?
You do not need a Master’s to be admitted to a PhD program and you do not (usually) need to get a Master’s before getting the PhD. It typically takes at least four years to get a PhD.

How can I get into a PhD without a Masters?
To be considered for a PhD without a Master’s, at a minimum you will be expected to have a Bachelors degree. For students looking to enrol onto a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) PhD, a relevant Bachelors in a 3-year undergraduate course is usually expected.

Can I do a PhD without a Masters degree?
Short answer, for the most part, YES you can, but there are always few exceptions! There is lot of confusing among students that you need to have Masters or have done MS for applying to PhD.
Should I do a PhD or a Masters in Computer Science?
The research focus and thesis work in PhD programs will give you the deep technical acumen needed to succeed in a research environment. If you just want to deepen your knowledge of computer science and get a bit more hands-on experience, then a Masters makes a lot of sense.
How do I add a master’s program to my PhD program?
(From the Academics panel in your Student Center, select “Petitions and Forms” from the drop down menu to submit the Grad Auth electronically.)
