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.
