I have two pages with similar content with slightly different text for eg graduate degree vs masters degree.
Logically they are same terms but users use these two different terms to search.
If I have a page with content around Masters degree in healthcare and another page with graduate program in healthcare, they would have around 60% similar content.
The url would be
example.com/graduate-program
example.com/masters-program
Is this a good idea to point the page example.com/graduate-program to example.com/masters-degree
If yes,then which of the pages get indexed ?
What is the best way to handle such scenarios ?

I don't believe so. In this case, the most important part that differentiates both pages is the words "masters" vs "graduate".
Using canonical you are basically telling google that you prefer one over the other, but they are not exactly similar, while with a lot of similar content, they are for 2 different programs.
Since 60% is similar, I would say tweak it a little more, use different words / content and leave it alone. That would be my opinion.
