is it good idea to apply for two options?

[Annele]

Hi, I have Im going to apply for 2 options for political science: 

1- Political science Thesis

2- Political science Non Thesis- option gender

Is it a good idea? or should I only apply for one of them?

Choose one or the other. Do you want to write a thesis or not?

I'm assuming this is for a Masters degree? If so - what is your long term goal for it and what is the option instead of a thesis? If you want to go on for a PhD, you'll likely want to do the thesis so you can more clearly show admissions committees that you're capable of doing research work. If you plan on finishing with the MA/MS/whatever and going into the workforce, a solid internship may be a better option.

Yes, this is for an Master's Degree

As long as I understand the only difference is wether to write a thesis or not? Can you please help me understand if this is the only difference between programs?

Thanks

That's what it sounds like, but it's definitely best to check this with the program office.
