How to Apply for MS Master's Program in USA
amit yadav
The Masters in Science (MS) degree is a 2 year graduate course of study in the US for someone with a bachelor’s degree in science. It may be entirely course-based, entirely research-based or (more typically) a mixture.
Â
In the US, an MS degree is awarded for science, engineering, technological programs that generally focus on scientific & mathematical subjects.
In contrast, Indian colleges offer a Masters in Science (M.Sc) for specializing in pure science (M.Sc Physics, M.Sc Chemistry), Masters in Technology (M.Tech) for technological courses and a Masters in Engineering (M.E) for engineering programs.Â

Eligibility to study MS in the US
- You must be a graduate of an accredited undergraduate engineering curriculum or equivalent. Generally, to enroll for an MS degree, one must have undergone 16 (12 + 4) years of education. Which is why it is common to see maximum number of Indian students pursuing master in science   from the US after B.Tech (4 years) from India.
- MS from US after 3 year B.Sc from India? This is difficult since most US universities ask for 16 years of education before applying for masters. If you have pursued a B.Sc in India i.e. 15 (12 + 3) years of education, then you must take up a master’s program or a 1 year diploma program, or take substantial prerequisite courses as specified by the department, depending on the university they are applying to.
