A master's degree, or masters degree in British English (from Latin magister), is an academic degree awarded by universities upon completion of a course of study demonstrating a mastery or high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. Within the area studied, graduates are posited to possess advanced knowledge of a specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation, or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently. The master's degree may qualify the holder to teach at a college or university in certain disciplines.
The two most common titles of master's degrees are the Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.S., M.Sc., M.Si., or M.C.A.) degrees; these may be course-based, research-based, or a mixture of the two. Some universities use the Latin degree names; because of the flexibility of syntax in Latin, the Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees may be known as Magister artium or Artium magister and Magister scientiæ or Scientiæ magister, respectively. Harvard University, University of Chicago, and MIT, for example, use A.M. and S.M. for their master's degrees. More commonly, Master of Science often is abbreviated MS or M.S. in the United States, and MSc or M.Sc. in Commonwealth nations and Europe.
A master's degree isn't what it used to be. More than 16 million people in the U.S. now have a master's degree - a 43% increase since just 2002! Find out what other changes we've seen in the master's degree over the last few decades. Tweet: http://ctt.ec/5X9Vd Do you have your master's degree, or do you plan on getting one?

This time last year I was embarking on my Masters Degree in International Marketing at Glasgow Caledonian University. Now, twelve months on, the dissertation has been handed in and what was an amazing year has come to an end! It was probably the busiest years of my life, and so I thought I'd share my pearls of wisdom with you, for anyone who is starting their postgraduate study this month! Track of the Day: Panic!

May 6th 2013 - Update on Maurice!

Learn about the purpose, time requirements, and reasons to pursue a Master's and/or PhD degree
Life after college can be difficult, especially when trying to find that dream job. Another thought that may cross your mind is the addition(minimum 2 year Masters Degree). Often time people become discouraged and begin to second guess their choices and even wonder if spending extra money on school is worth it.
