Master's Degree

Accredited schools in the directory that award master's degrees.

A Master's degree is a graduate academic degree from a college or university that typically requires one to three years of study. Most Master's programs require a Bachelor's degree as a prerequisite for admission.

In North America, the Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) are the most familiar types of Master's degrees. There are also numerous specialized Master's degrees offered in a wide variety of professional disciplines including: Master of Social Work (MSW), Master of Education (Med), Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), and Master of Project Management (MPM).

Master's programs range from being entirely course-based to entirely research based, with most programs structured to combine both approaches.

Whatever your profession, a Master's degree is always a great career move. On average, the lifetime income of workers with Master's degrees is approximately 25% higher than those with Bachelor's. Increasingly, employers recruiting for management positions in fields such as sales and marketing, information technology, nursing, engineering and finance seek candidates with Master's degrees. A Master's is also a minimum requirement for most post-secondary teaching positions from the community college to the university level.

America's first business school, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, established in 1881, is still among the most prestigious.
