Both options lead to an MSc degree – the difference is that the course-based option emphasizes application of research and theory to practice. Students who enroll in this option are more interested in careers that focus on practice, such as clinical educators, nursing education, advanced practice roles. Students in both of the MSc options undertake a quantitative and qualitative research course and theory/clinical course, while course-based students take one extra clinical course, extra electives, no statistics, and complete a scholarly paper rather than a thesis.
