Masters Degree:
Pursuing Masters degree programs entail classes, similar to your undergraduate classes. However the classes are usually conducted as seminars, with a great deal of discussion. The professors tend to expect a higher level of analysis in masters classes than undergraduate classes.

Most masters degree programs require students to complete a masters thesis, or an extended research paper.

In service-oriented fields like clinical and counseling psychology, and social work, masters degrees usually include a practicum or internship in which you learn applied skills like how to perform therapy.
