Hi, i'm currently studying my Master in Mechanical Engineering and our department offers two type of Master degrees, both are MSc but there are the Thesis or the Non-Thesis options!
if i choose the Non-thesis, i should take 6 credit hours of classes instead of 6 credit hours of research as it is for the Master with Thesis Option.
i want to know how will this affect my opportunities for getting into any phd programs in US?
although i have other ways of proving my research capabilities, like my publications and LORs from my research advisors.
