'''Master of Applied Science''' (abbreviations include '''MASc''', '''MAppSc''', '''MApplSc''', and '''MAS''') is an academic degree. It is conferred far more widely in the [[Commonwealth of Nations]] than in the US.

"MASc" degrees are generally conferred in Commonwealth of Nations for engineering-related studies more academic than those required for the [[Master of Engineering]] (MEng). MASc degrees require coursework and a thesis, with the thesis being the major component, whereas a [[Master of Engineering]] may require only coursework and a project, with the coursework being the major component.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ociece.ca/bi_ling/program/index.php?lang=1|title=OCIECE - Programs|publisher=The Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Electrical and Computer Engineering|access-date=2007-07-03|archive-date=2020-09-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200929224851/http://www.ociece.ca/bi_ling/program/index.php?lang=1|url-status=dead}}</ref> MASc degrees are also conferred for other subjects, such as psychology at the University of Waterloo <ref>{{cite web|url=https://uwaterloo.ca/graduate-studies-academic-calendar/arts/department-psychology/master-applied-science-masc-psychology-developmental-and-communication-science|title=Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Psychology - Developmental and Communication Science|publisher=University of Waterloo}}</ref>

"MAppSc" and "MApplSc" degrees are conferred in Australia and New Zealand for a wider variety of professional studies, to include practitioner fields outside of engineering.
