Professional Science Master's Programs
Professional Science Master’s (PSM) degree programs are innovative two year graduate degrees developed in concert with industry and designed to enhance present and future career opportunities. The PSM degree options augment core science curricula with courses that provide professional communication, project management, interdisciplinary teamwork and leadership skills as well as training in policy, regulatory issues, business law and entrepreneurship. Additionally students put their skills and knowledge to practice during required, paid internship.
Students enrolled in these programs receive a Master's degree in the appropriate discipline.
These programs
- Emphasize written and verbal skills, leadership and team building,
- Include a project or team experience as opposed to a thesis
- Provide connections to potential employers through internships
- Can accommodate working professionals
