A Master's degree in science is a postgraduate taught qualification offered by many universities, which allows you to specialize in a certain aspect of your Bachelor's degree course, or a related scientific subject. Usually the course consists of several taught modules and a research project. The organization of a Master's course is similar to that of a Bachelor's academic course, except that it generally lasts 1 year, depending on the course, institution, nature of the research project and whether it is being studied full or part-time.

Aim. The presented study aims to determine the key employment parameters that allow bachelor’s and master’s degree students to combine work with professional education in the optimal way and help people enrolled on further professional education to maintain a balance between work and family functions.Tasks. The authors analyze surveys of bachelor’s and master’s degree undergraduates and graduates of continuing professional education (CPE) programs of the Faculty of Economics of Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU).Methods. This study uses general logical methods: dialectical, logical, comparative, and systems analysis; methods of sociological research, including public surveys.Results. The authors identify major employment characteristics that help working students maintain high academic performance and positively affect the work-family balance of older people receiving further professional education.Conclusions. Increased flexibility of the labor market in the form of more part-time job offers could make a significant contribution to maintaining and improving the quality of training of students who combine work and studies, which is especially relevant for bachelor’s degree students. Diversifying the available forms of employment can positively affect the decision to gain intitial professional experience while studying at the university. Due to the development of remote employment, the forms of occupation available to students need to be further studied in detail.

Roman Darowski was born on August 12, 1935, in Szczepanowice, near Tarnow. He entered the Jesuit Order on July 31, 1951, and underwent a two year novitiate in Stara Wieś, near Krosno. He was ordained priest on July 31, 1961, in Warsaw. He studied philosophy at the Jesuit College (Faculty of Philosophy) in Cracow (1955-1958). He obtained a Master's Degree (MA) after presenting his thesis, Basic Foundations of Marxist Ethics [Podstawowe założenia etyki marksistowkiej], written under the direction of Tadeusz Ślipko, S. J . He studied theology at the Jesuit College (Faculty of Theology: Bobolanum) in Warsaw (1958-1962). After presenting his thesis Church History of Szczepanowice [Dzieje kościelne Szczepanowic], directed by Włodzimierz Kamńhski, S. J., he obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Theology (at that time equal to an MA). In the following year (1962/1963), he completed the so-called „third probation" in Paray-le-Monial, France, (a one year study of the Constitutions of the order and of Ignatian spirituality).

There has been a considerable amount of interest in graduation rates of baccalaureate degree programs in the educational literature. There has also been some attention given to graduation from doctoral programs and from associate degree programs. However, there is almost no literature on the graduation rates for Master’s degree programs. This report uses a method of analysis known as survival analysis or event history analysis to examine the time to event for two different events leading to completion of a Master’s degree. One event is the time to preliminary examination, and the other event is the time to final thesis defense or final examination. The data compare three different Master’s programs in a psychology department of one of the largest campuses of one of the largest public university systems in the United States.

As postsecondary tuition and debt levels continue to rise, the value proposition of higher education has been increasingly called into question by the popular media and the general public. Recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics now show early career earnings and debt, by program, for thousands of institutions across the United States. This comes at an inflection point for public health education—master’s degrees have seen 20 years of growth, but forecasts now call for, at best, stagnation. Forces inside and outside the field of public health are shifting supply and demand for public health master’s degrees. We discuss these forces and identify potential monetary and nonmonetary costs and benefits of these degrees. Overall, we found a net benefit in career outcomes associated with a public health master’s degree, although it is clear that some other master’s degrees likely offer greater lifetime earning potentials or lower lifetime debt associated with degree attainment. We outline the issues academic public health must engage in to successfully attract and train the next generation of public health graduates.

Context  The debate over what the entry-level degree should be for athletic training has heightened. A comparison of retention and career-placement rates between bachelor's and master's degree professional athletic training programs may inform the debate. Objective  To compare the retention rates and career-placement rates of students in bachelor's and master's degree professional programs. Design  Cross-sectional study. Setting  Web-based survey. Patients or Other Participants  A total of 192 program directors (PDs) from bachelor's degree (n = 177) and master's degree (n = 15) professional programs. Intervention(s)  The PDs completed a Web-based survey. Main Outcome Measure(s)  We instructed the PDs to provide a retention rate and career-placement rate for the students in the programs they lead for each of the past 5 years. We also asked the PDs if they thought retention of students was a problem currently facing athletic training education. We used independent t tests to compare the responses between bachelor's and master's degree professional programs. Results  We found a higher retention rate for professional master's degree students (88.70% ± 9.02%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 83.71, 93.69) than bachelor's degree students (80.98% ± 17.86%, 95% CI = 78.30, 83.66) (t25 = −2.86, P = .008, d = 0.55). Similarly, PDs from professional master's degree programs reported higher career-placement percentages (88.50% ± 10.68%, 95% CI = 82.33, 94.67) than bachelor's degree professional PDs (71.32% ± 18.47%, 95% CI = 68.54, 74.10) (t20 = −5.40, P < .001, d = 1.14). Finally, we observed no difference between groups regarding whether retention is a problem facing athletic training (χ21 = 0.720, P = .40, Φ = .061). Conclusions  Professional master's degree education appears to facilitate higher retention rates and greater career-placement rates in athletic training than bachelor's degree education. Professional socialization, program selectivity, and student commitment and motivation levels may help to explain the differences noted.

The educational system in radiology programs worldwide is different. In the American system, they offer a certificate program (Cert) then an associate degree (AAS) in some colleges then a diploma (Dip) after that a bachelor’s degree (B.S.). A radiographer a.k.a radiologic technologist can continue to get a post-baccalaureate certificate or a master’s degree (M.S.) and rarely in America due to the shortage of Ph.D. programs a doctorate of philosophy in radiology. The British system in radiology programs is more advanced than the American system which offers a bachelor’s degree (B.Sc.) then a post graduate certificate (PGCert) or post graduate diploma (PGDip) or a master’s degree (M.Sc.) and eventually a Ph.D. There are other countries with different educational systems in radiology which can vary from the previous two examples. All of these system does not standardize a one educational system that can work for everyone. The aim of this paper is to propose an educational system that is easy and effective. First of all, standardize the name of all the radiology programs. Radiology is a good name which will prevent confusion with other fields. For example, radiation science can be confused with physics. Medical imaging is a broad name that include any imaging as a picture of human skin with pathology or a picture of a microscopic slide of a human specimen can be included in medical imaging. Radiologic technology or biomedical imaging is confused with IT and engineering. Radiology is a perfect name that no one will be confused with. When someone says biology no one will think it means mathematics. Second, no degrees below bachelor degree except high school−level a.k.a a secondary education. The admission requirement is general educational diploma or high school certificate. The bachelor degree in radiology must be a 4-year long program that teaches all of the modalities (i.e., X-ray, Fluoroscopy, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Nuclear Medicine (NM), Ultrasound (US), Doppler, Catheterization lab and Angiography, etc.). This will prevent the track system which makes issues in the work market by over saturating one track. Third, a master’s degree in radiology that offer a sub-specialty in one modality. Like a master’s degree in CT alone, ultrasound alone, radiation protection alone, or Picture Archiving and Communication system (PACs) alone. The master’s program can be 1 or 2 years. Fourth, the Ph.D. program should focus on one system of the human body or a category of imaging like: PhD in neuroimaging, gynecology and obstetrics ultrasound, forensic imaging, pediatric imaging, or cardiovascular imaging, etc. The PhD program is more subspecialized program in a very small area. The Ph.D. program can be from 3 to 5 years long. This is a very simple system and applicable which will allow more consistence in the radiology educational systems worldwide.

Undergraduate Programs

The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board directs undergraduate programs towards a broadly based education in engineering. Employers accept the need for a broad education but also want young engineers to have specialist training for practice. These very different requirements appear at first sight to be in conflict. In the United States and Europe, but not yet in Canada, licensing bodies are moving towards requiring a master’s degree or equivalent for licensing. Companies that engage in international projects are concerned they may be unable to compete if other countries require master’s degrees for licensing, while Canada does not. Universities should develop broad educational undergraduate programs that can actually be completed in four years in principal areas like civil, electrical, mechanical engineering. Additional effort should be directed towards specialist master’s programs that provide training for employability.
