Many institutions offers research masters which are not terminal degrees meaning you can go on for a PhD. For example, Stanford CS has the Master of Science with Distinction in Research. Berkeley EECS doesn't and they only relatively recently offered a masters program you can apply to. Previously it was a bailout degree from the PhD program.

- jefft255 9y agoMost universities in Canada have the same thing. In my university you can do a masters "avec mémoire" (with thesis) which is four semesters of full time research.
- auxym 9y agoYeah, that's what I did, though it was more like 6 semesters including the summers. You graduate with an MSc or MASc, whereas for the non-research masters, you graduate with an MEng (for the engineering programs).
