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.
