A Fictitious Name and a DBA are one and the same. They can also be known as "trade names." At times, a DBA is used when a company decides to do business under a name other than that in which they are registered. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. 10-1-490 trade names are registered with the Clerk of Superior Court of the county where the business is principally located.

PsyD stands for "Doctor of Psychology," and PhD stands for "Doctor of Philosophy." Traditionally, psychologists have earned a PhD in psychology, but in recent years, the PsyD has become a popular alternative for individuals who want clinical training and have relatively little interest in research. Because social psychology is grounded heavily in research, there is no PsyD that pertains to social psychology. See similar questions...

The intensity of sound is measured in units called decibels (dB). Intensity is perceived as loudness. The notation dBA refers to decibels measured on a sound level meter using the A-weighting filter network. Once the A-weighting scale is selected, the meter will mimic the way the human ear responds to sound. Occupational noise surveys must be done with a sound level meter using the A-weighting network.

DBA is an abbreviation for "doing business as." Certain jurisdictions may use the terms fictitious business name, trade name or assumed name instead of DBA. DBA registration is necessary if your business operates under a name other than its legal name.

The master's program develops professionals within organizational development, training fields and human resources. The doctoral program is more research intensive than the M.A. Students complete an intensive year-long research core, participate on a faculty-led research team in their second and third year, and complete a one-year placement and a research and dissertation sequence. This additional emphasis on research prepares students for higher-level positions and academic careers. See similar questions...

MPhil is at a lower academic level than a PhD and requires only that you undertake a period of postgraduate study leading to the production of a satisfactory thesis. MPhil research tends to involve routine approaches designed to answer straightforward questions. The MPhil also differs by nominally taking one year, rather the three for a PhD, and thus also involve less work overall. See similar questions...

Doctoral programs vary, but in general they share certain common features. Most programs involve about two years of course work at the beginning of the program. During this phase, the students also rotate through faculty research laboratories and attend research seminars. See similar questions...

Doctoral programs generally require about two years of course work followed by two to three years of laboratory research. The length of the research portion will depend on a variety of factors, such as the time it takes to learn new techniques, the complexity of the project, how much effort is put into the project and the success of obtaining appropriate data. Prior research experience and graduate course work may decrease the time to complete the program. See similar questions...

The short answer is that our goal is to identify students with outstanding potential and help them get the training that they need to be accomplished independent physician-investigators. We want them to emerge from Penn ready to complete their training and go on to make substantial contributions in their chosen fields. Our goal is not to produce private practitioners with research training. See similar questions...

The Pharm.D. and Ph.D. may be taken as a combined program and students choosing the combined Pharm.D./Ph.D. apply for admission to both programs. The advantage they have is that while in the Pharm.D. program they can orient their elective courses so that they are fulfilling some of the required courses of the Ph.D. Program. When they enter the Ph.D. Program they will have already satisfied one year of course work. For more information see the combined program brochure (pdf). See similar questions...
