求问MSEE的course only track和course thesis track的区别

前两天收到NEU AD一枚，发现给degree level后面（course only-track），上网查了信息之后如下：
Master’s Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MSECE)
As of fall 2013, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department offers two tracks for MSECE. Both tracks are available to full-time and part-time students. Applicants must select one of the following two tracks at the time of filing their application.
1) Course-Thesis Track: This is a highly competitive program with limited enrollment and is designed for students with interest in and aptitude for research. The program consists of 6 graduate-level courses (24 credits) plus 8 credit thesis totaling 32 credits.
2) Course-only Track: This program consists of 8 graduate-level courses totaling 32 credits. This is a straight forward non- research based track designed for students with an interest in industry work.
而后查关于co-op项目的时候，有一段这样的介绍：
Graduate students can be broadly classified into three groups: terminal Master's degree with no research; Master's candidate with research or intent to pursue a PhD; and PhD candidates. Accordingly, co-op assignments must recognize these differences.
是不是course only-track就是terminal master’s degree？类似于MENG的方式？是不是也就没有读phd的可能性了？

有没有thesis貌似到时候去学校还可以更改的。。。
要读phd那就要研究经验和论文。。。应该必须要course-thesis track吧。。。
. From 1point 3acres bbscourse-only track就是就业为导向的吧。。。
本人小白。。个人这么理解的。。。坐等懂的人来答。。。

楼主是哪个具体小专业track啊？computer engineering吗？
