What is the difference between a masters degree and a masters certificate?
A master’s certificte is post baccelaurate study but is made up of only a few classes that give a general basis of the content being studied (around 16 credits). A certificate is not regarded as highly as a master’s degree. A master’s degree often requires the student to be matriculated in a program and is required to complete around 36 credits and a thesis to graduate.
