If Im considering continuing on for a Ph.D., should I pursue the M.A.-thesis or M.A.- nonthesis?
The course work students take for both degrees will prepare them well for a doctoral program. The M.A.-thesis offers a slight advantage because students write a master’s thesis to complete this degree. The master’s thesis requires a student to design a research project and carry it out to completion. Once a student finishes writing the thesis, s/he will know whether pursuing a doctoral degree is right for her/him.
