Both degrees involve a combination of research and coursework. At this level, study and learning becomes much more indepth and self-directed than at the undergraduate level. A master's degree comes after a bachelor's degree. There are two main types of master's degrees: An academic master's--the master of arts (MA) and the master of science (MS)--are usually awarded in the arts, sciences and humanities. The MS is also awarded in technical fields such as engineering and agriculture. Getting a master's degree requires coursework and original research. These degrees usually take one to two years to complete (or about 30 to 60 credit hours). A professional master's degree leads to a specific profession rather than further study. For example, a master in business administration (or MBA), a master of social work (MSW.), a master of fine arts (MFA.) or a master of education (MEd) are all "terminal" programs that prepare students for specific jobs as managers, social workers, artists and teachers. Professional master's degrees are also available in journalism, architecture, urban planning and international relations. This degree emphasizes direct application of knowledge rather than original research. Just as those who get bachelor's degrees earn more and advance further than those with only a high school education, students who go on to get a master's degree earn more and advance further than those with only a bachelor's degree. However, despite the many benefits of obtaining a master's degree, there is a caution. Graduate school is not the place for students to "discover" themselves. The work is intensive and highly specialized. By the time students advance into a master's program, they should have a very good idea of what they want to do with their advanced degree. In addition, there are some fields in which going to grad school may not be worth the trouble. A doctoral degree or PhD The doctoral degree is the final step on the educational ladder. This degree is designed to train research scholars and prepare students for a career in academia or in highly-academic applied fields like economics, physics or psychology. The PhD (or doctor of philosophy) is the most common degree awarded at this level. Other doctoral degrees include the doctor of education (EdD) and doctor of business administration (DBA). In order to get a PhD students need to attend courses and write a dissertation that is based on original research. PhD students usually need to take a comprehensive exam after several years of coursework. After that, they do research and then write a dissertation describing it. This usually takes an additional two to three years. When it comes down to it, a doctoral degree requires at least five to eight more years of study beyond a bachelor's degree. This requires not only financial resources, but also an ability to persevere. Those pursuing this degree should also be aware that having a doctoral degree does not necessarily guarantee higher earnings or increased job security. Teaching at the college level is highly competitive and many recent PhD's have a hard time finding a job. Many find only part-time or temporary jobs that offer no job security and low pay. In fact, many people with PhD's who had planned on an academic career end up pursuing jobs outside of academia
