Intro to the Master’s Programs
If you are exploring your options for School of Civil Engineering programs, here are two types of Master’s degrees that you may find interesting: Master by Coursework and Master by Research. The first type of degree, Master by Coursework, typically involves taking a series of courses and completing assignments and exams. This type of degree is ideal for those who want to gain knowledge in a particular subject area or enhance their skills without conducting research.
On the other hand, a Master by Research degree focuses on independent research on a particular topic. The students conduct research under the guidance of a supervisor, and they are required to present their findings in a dissertation or thesis.
Both Master by Coursework and Master by Research programs offer students distinct advantages and a rich educational experience. It all depends on your interests and career goals.
