If you believe in the power or numbers... there are 5,130 cites on MIT
Google for "master of science," vs. 232 for "masters of
science."<br>
<br>
Then again... there's also the anarchy of numbers :-)<br>

Our project's early literature (which predates my arrival on the
scene) calls our S.M. degree a "Masters of Science" degree,
as in, ""New Masters of Science Program". I keep
wanting to drop the "s" and call it a "Master of
Science" degree program.<br>
<br>
Is one correct, or is a matter of preference or context? Do you know
the answer, and if not, what's a good resource for this type of
question?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for the witty chatter that will ensue,<br>
