Can someone shed some light on how a professional MS course is in the US? I got deferred from Thesis course to Professional MS in Purdue University. Is a Professional MS course good and is it worth doing?

Professional ms is almost same as a thesis based ms from a job perspective.

And lastly the batch size for professional courses are larger as there is no need for research advisers See more
