Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Actually you'd be surprised how easy most masters level programs are. People have an inflated idea of how hard graduate education is. I have a masters degree from Boston University, so I talk from experience from a well-respected university. Graduate school has always been about getting what you put into it. My dual masters degree in acupuncture and Chinese herbs was more work. But don't get me wrong, I do agree that we should increase our standards.
