Yes I know! This is what they say on their website "At Columbia University, all Master’s degrees conferred by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences are MA. (School of Engineering and Applied Science confers MS degrees.) The rigorousness of scientific training is not affected by its name. Our program requires 8 graduate level courses, at least 6 of which in the biological sciences. All students must receive laboratory training and present a thesis."

I can't tell you how much that helped!! Thanks a lot!!!

Duran MA in Biotechnology or MSE in Nanotechnology. No funding from either of them.

Hello, I'm really torn between these two, thought I'd get your opinion..... I'm a Science student first of all. Just got my BSc. I'm getting my masters and got accepted into UPenn and Columbia. Columbia has better reputation, and is more known internationally (I'm an international student) however, the degree is an MA!! Masters of Arts. Its not a professional degree in science.. UPenn is a great school no doubt in that, and their degree is an MSE! Masters of Science in Engineering! NYC is the place to live when you're a 22 year old girl.. But Philly is more affordable. I really don't know, please advice.
