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><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?

Thanks in advance for the witty chatter that will ensue,<br>
