Master degree routes : Thesis or NON Thesis?

[3John2]

Just wondering ye all think is the best route for a university, non seminary, masters degree. Would that be with a thesis or non thesis route? In the long term for someone seeking to be employed as a teacher/professor which would be more beneficial & reflect a bit more positive on ones credentials? Sorry not sure if this has been covered before, I tried searching but way too many threads.

Thesis is usually seen as better than non-thesis, especially if one is applying for PhD work.

If you plan to pursue a PhD, then the thesis route is the way to go. If not, then it is not as important.

That's what I thought but I'd figure I'd ask those with more wisdom to chime in on their views. Thanks again.

If you want to go beyond a masters, the answer is undoubtedly: thesis.
