How does one go from a bachelors degree to a doctorate program without earning a masters, or am I missing something here?

It's not that uncommon; there are programs to do a Ph.D. straight from a Bachelor's. I don't know much about them, but I have heard of them.

Got me.

There a few things that still don’t make sense. Hopefully it will all come out in the wash.

I am just trying to collect snippets of information and place them in some sort of order so that I can try to understand what isn’t understandable.

The media doesn’t seem to be laying out any sort of emerging chronological image for us, it just seems like a bunch of puzzle pieces dumped on a table.

” James Eagan Holmes was in the school’s doctoral neuroscience program and had been in the process of withdrawing at the time of the shooting, university officials said. He had enrolled at the university in June 2011.”

Many doc programs do not earn masters. Some will give a masters if you flunk out the doc but not all.
