Masters degrees may be considered terminal professional degrees in some fields, such as the fine arts, or they may be considered as second degrees that may or may not lead to PhD studies. In some subjects, such as the behavioral and natural sciences, it is increasingly common practice to proceed directly from the bachelors degree to enrollment in PhD studies without being required to earn a masters degree. In these subjects, the masters degree is often considered unimportant for professional purposes except as an intermediate qualification that students may petition for in cases where they need such a degree for employment purposes. Masters degrees generally take two years to complete, but the time period may be shorter or longer depending on how the degree program is structured (12-month versus 9-month academic years, for example), whether the student is enrolled full-time or part-time, the degree requirements and the prior preparation of the student. (Some students may require additional preparation prior to undertaking certain types of research, or may require interdisciplinary training if their research field crosses subject fields or if they have changed academic subject concentrations from the undergraduate level.) Some U.S. graduate students transcripts may show that undergraduate courses were completed in subjects such as languages, quantitative methods or a second subject. It is important to know, however, that U.S. accreditation rules do not allow such undergraduate credit to be counted toward graduate studies. Only if undergraduate courses are taken for graduate credit requiring additional work and are certified as such by the graduate faculty will an award of credit be considered. Masters degrees are more common in some subjects than others. In some fields, the masters degree is a required or expected qualification; while in others it is either not required or has no utility in the job market. As a result, U.S. research doctorate programs do not always require a masters degree for admission. The fields where masters degrees are most commonly awarded include business, education, health and medical fields, engineering, public administration and social services. The most common academic masters degrees are the Master of Arts (MA or AM) and Master of Science (MS or SM). However, there are many different masters degree titles, especially in the professional fields. RESEARCH MASTERS DEGREES Masters degrees awarded in academic fields are generally research degrees that require the completion of required graduate-level courses and seminars, passing comprehensive examinations in the major subfield of research and usually one or more minor subfields, and the preparation and defense of a masters thesis under faculty supervision. Occasionally, such degrees may be awarded without thesis by substituting a major project or set of papers for the thesis. PROFESSIONAL MASTERS DEGREES Masters degrees awarded in professional fields may be structured as research degrees (as in engineering, for example), or they may be structured specifically to prepare students to work in an applied professional field at an advanced level (as with the MBA). In the latter case, there is usually a specified set of course or seminar requirements, specific graded exercises, and a project or other requirement is substituted for the thesis. Professional internships may also be required in supervised work settings.
