That is not a degree. That is a person who has two different degrees. The MS stands for Master of Science. That is one degree. The PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy. That is a different degree. Since the PhD is a more advanced degree and is obtained after a person gets the masters degree, a person does not list his degrees that way. When you see them listed that way, the MS is frequently in a different subject or area of study than the PhD and was not a part of the PhD program.

The PhD is the highest degree in the world and there is nothing beyond it. It is attained after achieving a BA or BS, then an MA or MS, and PhD (all in the same field).
Depends on the degree. A BS/BA, MA/MS have no title, but a PhD has a title of Dr.
If you all ready have your MS/MA the degree will take you 4-7 years. Universities normally give a PhD candidate up to 7 years to finish the degree. The last year or two is writing the dissertation/research. If you begin the degree without the MA/MS in middle of the program you will earn your degree and then go on to the PhD phase. This could add time to the process. I suggest you do the MA/MS first, take a break, and then do the PhD. To finish a PhD takes a great deal of focus and work. It is not an easy process and is not fun. That is why only 1% finish the degree. I finished my PhD in 3.5 years, but I lived it day and night and did nothing but write entire weekends, every night, and carried my dissertation with me in a binder to edit. The stress was constant and I was also working full time as I did the degree.

You list accomplishments from least to highest, unless they are in the same field. For multiple degrees in the same field, the terminal degree is the only one listed. For example: A) Joe Smith obtained her BA in Psychology, than an MS in Psychology, followed by a PhD in Psychology. His entry would be: Joe Smith, PhD B) Jane Smith obtained a BA in Psychology, an MBA in Business and an MS in Psychology, and a PhD in Psychology. Her listing would be: Jane Smith, MBA, PhD Some rules about least to highest: an academic degree (e.g. MS or MA, PhD) is higher than a practical degree (e.g. MBA is listed before MS). Finally, (I believe this is correct), any licenses held are at the end (A registered nurse who maintains a license to practice and holds a PhD would list PhD, RN). I'm not sure how this works with an MD, which is technically a practical degree but is also a license to practice...perhaps that's why it's so common to see it both ways. The previous entry stated: It is generally accepted that one lists accomplishments from least to highest. Thus BA, BS, MA, PhD.
