Graduate Degrees: Academic or Professional?
Over 550,000 students
earned a master's degree in the academic year of 2004-2005. In that same year,
only 52,000 students earned a doctoral degree according to the U.S. Department
of Education. The majority of professional master's degrees were awarded by
private nonprofit universities, whereas the majority of academic master's
degrees and doctorates were awarded by public universities.
A master's degree is earned
after baccalaureate level studies have been completed. Some enter into a
graduate program immediately after earning an undergraduate degree. Student are
able to enroll in an academic
master's degree program or a professional master's degree program. The
requirements for each type depends on the
An academic master's degree
program is designed and structured to prepare a student to continue with their
academic work into a doctoral program. Graduate students earning academic
master's degrees will focus on conducting research centered around an original
idea, practicing or developing research methods to test an original theory or
demonstrate the idea. For those continuing their studies and earning a
doctorate degree, the goal is mastering research methodology. On of the most
well-known credentials for earning a doctorate is doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.).
A professional master’s
degree program emphasizes the application of knowledge, rather than original
research. Academic work completed for a professional master’s degree cannot be
applied towards a doctorate. Some universities refer to professional master’s
degrees as terminal
masters degrees because there no further study can be completed. For
example, a master of business administration degree (M.B.A.) is a well-known
professional master’s degree as well as the master of education degree (M.Ed.).
For those interested in
continuing on to work in the area of education, the humanities, or the sciences,
an academic master’s degree is more likely to lead to long-term career
advancement.
For someone interested in a
career relating to civics, the applied arts, or commerce, a professional, or
terminal, master’s degree will provide long-term benefits related to a person’s
career.
Attaining the appropriate
education can be time intensive, but many are turning to online education to
begin a new or enhance their current career.
