Why Earn a Master's?
Apart from intellectual curiosity and interest, there are several practical reasons for seeking a master's degree:
Enhanced Credentials
A master's will significantly enhance your qualifications if you plan to pursue a full-time doctoral program; this can be especially useful if you seek to enter graduate school in a field outside your undergraduate major, or if you earned the bachelor’s from a less prestigious institution.
Material Benefits
Having a master's significantly enhances your qualifications and pay in most public and private organizations.
Test the Waters
A master's program can help you decide whether the academic path is right for you — before you invest so much time and resources in a multi-year doctoral program.
Transferable Skills
The emphasis on research and writing will give you skills that are critical for every career path.
