標題[問題] Cornell的M.P.S.到底是什麼？
時間Thu Sep 18 19:16:48 2008
我目前大四
打算申請2008秋季班的master degree
也是要和大學部一樣繼續念統計
最近在蒐集各學校的資料
看到Cornell有MS
還有Master of Professional Studies (MPS)
我看MPS的申請門檻很低 還不需要GRE的成績
並且不用考試 也不用thesis
只要一年就可以拿到學位
有沒有人可以幫我解答一下MPS到底是什麼阿
是類似那種在職進修的課程嘛？
附上他解釋的一段話
The M.P.S. is intended for persons who want a short-term (one year) master's
degree so as to go into business, industry, or government statistical work.
The M.P.S. is not equivalent to an M.S. on several counts: the M.P.S. has a
project (a large-scale data-analysis project) rather than a thesis or a
qualifying exam (which would be the case for an M.S.).
The mathematical probability/statistics component of the M.P.S. is less than
it would be for an M.S. (which would be considered the first part of a
Ph.D.).
