<p>I was just curious to see what everyone's thoughts were on odds of funding when applying for a Master of Science vs. Master of Engineering (or MSC no thesis). Is there a significant difference between the two?</p>
<p>What about overall odds of admission between the two degrees?</p>
<p>I plan on applying for Meng, but would certainly do MSc if it is expected to have increased chances of funding or admissions.</p>
<p>MEng tends to not be a research degree, but a degree that companies pay for their employers to get. It is often targeted at professionals.</p>
<p>Thus, the chance of getting funding in a MEng program is practically zero.
The chance of getting funding in an MS program is 0-30%. This is very highly dependent on your school and your field. Sometimes you can get funding in your second year (profs like students to take classes with them before they do research).</p>
