For Those of You Who Did a Master's Program Before Dental School...

Another useless poll to meet my curiosity...

I have been seeing quite a few people with a Master's Degree before applying to dental school, and I realized the workload for each program is different.

If you did/are doing a Master's Program in a science discipline...how many units did/are you averaging per quarter/semester (including all units, P/F, research)

I'm doing a thesis-based masters program in Immunology. Where I'm at there aren't too many science course-based masters programs.

In terms of courses, I've taken 2 courses (6 modules) in the past 2 years, and upon successfully defending my thesis, i will have obtained my MSc. Defending is kinda like a gigantic P/F I guess.
Courses aren't really required for my program but the courses that are required, of the two, any one of them is more intense than any undergrad year I've encountered in my 5 years of undergrad.
I guess a thesis-based masters is more about the research. In that aspect, I've been really quite successful.

I did a non-thesis SMP in Biomedical Science, averaging 18+ units and 6-8 classes per quarter.
