Please Advice. Thanks.

I don’t have any idea about penn state but professional would mean non thesis ?

shivam thakur · Answer

Yeah but this is not the main campus so relatively easy to get in , so I’m skeptic about the program as well

shivam thakur · Answer

It’s just non thesis you can’t opt for PHd beyond it that’s all

shivam thakur · Answer

Yeah If you’re thinking of PHd long term yeah then strike this one out

 It's non thesis, and I want to go for a PhD later, I guess I need to rule out this one!
Also I'll be in the first batch, so it's a little risky. I don't know much about the Job Prospects of this university.

Does mps have the same value as Ms?

Balaji Vishal Teja · Answer

If PhD, then it's better to leave it.

Andrew Joseph · Answer

Penn State is a very reputable college... professional studies indicate it is tailored to meet the industry needs... so it will be a non thesis but may have industrial training instead

Andrew Joseph · Answer

The university name does not matter much when it comes to Jobs but the Alumini network and the course curriculum matters a lot

Andrew Joseph · Answer

If ur aim is doing PHD don’t do it... if not it’s good

Andrew Joseph · Answer

If ur aiming for phd it’s a no go... check other programs

@dikshya Both are almost same. Penn State is a very good university and getting job will be easier.But if you want to go for P.hD, go for a established course. For new courses funding problem may be there.
