Our master's programs enable students to customize their education to align with their research passions and professional aspirations. Learners can select either a terminal master's path or a PhD preparation route based on their individual goals. The program offers flexibility between completing a research-based thesis (MS degree) or opting for coursework exclusively (MR degree). Both full-time and part-time enrollment are available, with most courses offered either online or through various on-campus formats.
After completing their degrees, many graduates secure positions as consultants, analysts, and researchers across private sector and government organizations, while others continue their academic journey through advanced studies at NC State or other prestigious institutions.
