Sort of. From my experience a master's degree was like getting an accelerated undergrad degree without a lot of the hand holding or extra courses. While I did learn a lot I don't think I learned a whole lot in depth. I studied one thing somewhat in depth but that was really the tip of the iceberg for the whole sub-field/topic really. People would likely get a PhD in something way more specific that I probably never even learned about in said field.
