The Master’s Thesis Option provides students with the opportunity to differentiate their graduate degree with a coveted distinction in research. Students will learn how to approach academic research in an analytical and informed way, and how to collect and analyze research material.
An MTO and distinction in research will help leverage your career opportunities, having a published paper will help you stand out in an increasingly competitive job market. Creative thought coupled with analytical research tools gained through the MTO program sets you apart from your peers and prepares you for a career of success in any field you desire. Now, more than ever the job market demands business professionals to lead their companies in new directions, solve problems that have yet to be defined and create growth in areas that were never previously conceived. The MTO program is a talking point during any interview and shows a deep commitment to your topic which propels you beyond the distinction of the graduate students into a class that truly defines your capabilities as a leader. Participating in the MTO program will show employers that you have the skill to take up a challenging task, determine ways to tackle roadblocks independently and achieve results with a set time frame as well as how the skills you have developed will benefit the employer.
