smithdan986 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I am currently doing a masters with a research thesis in a physical science, but I want to move out of the area due to personal reasons. Also I am sick of research. Is it possible for me to transfer to a course work only masters at a different school? Will my current professors be offended if I asked for a letter of recommendation for the new place ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphi Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Just stick it out! A Master's is only 2 years and your courses most likely will not transfer. You would have to start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crucial BBQ Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Will my current professors be offended if I asked for a letter of recommendation for the new place ? Unless one of them is also your advisor or was on the committee that helped admit you....probably not. Would it be possible for you to transfer into a non-research based program at your current school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admissions Advice Online Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Very very rarely do graduate courses transfer. You should just finish the current degree, otherwise you risk losing all that time and money invested. Furthermore having related degrees could make you more marketable. - Admissions Advice Online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithdan986 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I would also like to use this opportunity to transfer to a better ranking program. Do you think my professor would notice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
