Should I go for a Masters before a PhD?

<p>I'm interested in Biology, and I'd like to continue my education in that field. However, I'm primarily interested in teaching. Would it be best to just get a Masters in Biology and then consider going for my PhD later?</p>

<p>Do doctoral programs look down on students who are entering with an MS instead of a BS?</p>

<p>Going the MS route first isn’t a bad idea as it may be a chance to raise your competitiveness for Ph.D programs, or in case you’re not sure that you do want to go on to the Ph.D.</p>
