12 Research vs Professional Degrees • Research graduate degree program involves preparation to carry out significant research and to discover new knowledge, whether the particular field of learning is pure or applied. • Professional graduate degree program implies preparation for professional and/or clinical practice. Generally, professional graduate degrees represent terminal degrees in their field. The resulting professional activity usually involves the giving of service to the public in the chosen field. The completion of preparation for professional practice is recognized by the award of the professional master’s or doctoral degree. CCGS Guidelines 3/19 Graduate College
