Hey Tara!

Some universities require SOP for undergraduate, Master of Science, and Master in Business Administration programs. They have similar guidelines but a slight difference in the context.

An SOP for an undergraduate course requires students to focus on their childhood, interests, and hobbies. An SOP for the MS program should speak about the passion for the subject and goals. The SOP for MBA requires a brief about your managerial skills, leadership qualities, and life goals.

In comparison, an SOP of a Ph.D. concentrates more on the research abilities and goals. In the SOP, you must show their research, time management skills, efficiency, and analytical and reasoning abilities.

Read about all these points in detail here: Know how to write an SOP for Ph.D. a step by step guide.
