    1. "I think this is the best time to get a Master's Degree since.."
    2. "I think this is the best time to get a master's degree since.."
    3. "I think this is the best time to get a Master's since.."

    Thanks in advance
    I wouldn't use "do" in any case; to me, "get" sounds more natural. Otherwise, (3) sounds the most usual. Also, I'm not completely sure about capitalization (it probably doesn't matter).
     
    Hello,

    Just wanted to point out that “since” and “because” don’t always mean the same thing. For example:

    I think this is the best time to get a Master’s degree since I quit my job.

    Does it mean?
    I think this is the best time to get a Master’s degree because I quit my job?
    Or…
    I think this is the best time to get a Master’s degree since I quit my job (at some time in the past)? In other words, you quit your job last year and, since then, now it’s the best time to get a Master’s degree.

    To avoid confusion:
    If you mean to give a “reason,” use because.
    If you are referring to “time,” use since.

    Based on your Spanish sentence, I think you mean to use “because.”

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers
     
    Estoy de acuerdo de lo que dice unspecified acerca de "do" y "get".
    Creo que éste es el mejor momento para hacer una maestría debido a que...
    I think that this is the best time to get a Master's degree, because...
    I believe this is the best time to earn a Master's degree, due to...


    Otras opciones. La primera es más coloquial que la segunda. Espero que te ayuden.

    Saludos.
