Thesis
A research degree involves diving deep into a specific topic within your area of interest
and completing and defending an master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. A match
of research interests between the student and potential advisor is crucial. Students
work one-on-one with a faculty member on a research project, which may offer grant
funding in the form of a research assistantship. Admission decisions are subject to
advisor availability and research match in addition to the applicant’s academic qualifications.
Non-Thesis
A non-thesis master’s degree offers enhanced knowledge through advanced level coursework.
Research is not required, although a project may be incorporated into the degree.
Students in the non-thesis option are typically self-funded and are not considered
for assistantship (TA and RA) funding but are eligible for other types of aid.
