Hello Ecologgers! I'm wrapping up my fourth-year in environmental sciences at UC Davis and have been looking at graduate schools. I notice that different schools will offer either an M.S. or an M.A. degree. While I've heard there isn't a true difference between the two degree types, I've noticed that many government positions require an M.S. degree. I was hoping some of you could provide me with some insight on the difference between the two degrees -- if there even is one at all. Also, all else equal, would you hire an individual with an M.S. over an M.A.?
Many thanks! -- Priya
