The Master's Mindset is a step above undergraduate study. Master's students learn to ask "why," going beyond simple answers.

A Growth Mindset is applicable to any education, and Carol Dweck has a lot of resources on this, including a book called Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. A chart, found on a Farnam Street Media blog and in her book, shows the difference between a fixed and growth mindset (Philosophy, 2024). It basically shows how challenges, obstacles, criticism and other factors can be used for growth, instead of acting as impenetrable walls.
