Is it evident whether I am a masters student or a PhD student just by looking at my transcript? After I finished the first year in a PhD program, considering that I took the same courses that masters students in the same school take, is there a way other institutions can tell if I am a masters student or a PhD student just by looking at my official transcript?
Typically, the name of the degree program that the student is enrolled in is listed on the transcripts. So generally speaking, yes, it is evident whether you are a masters student or a PhD student.
