Pursuing graduate studies is an important decision in life that should not be taken

in pursing Master’s degree on either through scholarship grants or self-expense
study. Using a survey questionnaire online thru google forms, 136 respondents
answered back. The result of the study found that majority of the respondents are
female and 66% of the respondents finished their master’s degree. Institutional
