Also, a Masters Degree. Oh, and by the way, it is sort of a double PhD because the program I was in combined two different fields, removing only one of several requirements from each (of my choice), but I actually pretty much met all the requirements anyway plus I studied a third field for the equivalent of about a year. I was then on the teaching staff there for a few years, including creating and teaching a class that was the required intro class for all students coming into the highly prestigious and difficult to get into \u201cMind Brain Behavior\u201d program. And so on and so forth. Oh, and I and colleagues recreated a novel undergraduate program that others copied. Then we created a novel way to run a PhD program, and the lead of that effort later became the Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and deployed our program across Harvard, which then of course caused many other graduate programs around the world to follow since that is what Harvard does \u2014 it leads.
