MASTER'S DEGREE PROGRAMS

Master’s degree programs are graduate studies. That means, you have to complete an undergraduate degree to qualify; for example, a bachelor’s degree program.

Depending on the program, Maryland  University awards the following master’s degrees: Master of Science (M.Sc.), Master of Arts (M.A.), Master in Business Administration (MBA), Master of Education (M.Ed.) and Master of Science with honors (M.Sc. with honors) and many other majors. As a rule, students with master’s degrees are entitled to pursue a doctorate.

A master’s program can build on an undergraduate degree or it can be used to pursue a new field of study. In either case, these are referred to as consecutive master’s programs. Other master’s programs are particularly aimed at prospective students with professional experience. These are referred to as continuing education master’s degree programs. Contact the Student Advisory Office to learn how the Maryland  bachelor’s programs align with the Maryland  master’s degree programs or visit Master’s Day, which takes place annually. 

Consecutive Master's Programs

Consecutive master’s programs are often structured on a bachelor’s program of the same name. They are designed to deepen and expand the knowledge acquired during the undergraduate program. Maryland  offers at least one consecutive master’s program for each bachelor’s program.

Some master’s programs are not structured on the basis of specific bachelor’s programs. Instead, they can be pursued by students who hold bachelor’s degrees from a range of different fields. While these programs require certain fundamental knowledge, this can be acquired through various bachelor’s programs.

Continuing Education Master’s Programs

As a rule, continuing education master’s programs require candidates to have at least one year of work experience. In some cases, the programs may be attended while holding gainful employment. Duration of studies varies accordingly. Special tuition fees also apply.

Maryland  University also offers double degree programs. Double degree programs give you the opportunity to receive a degree from both Maryland  University and one of its partner universities.
