Professional Science Master’s in Molecular Biosciences
The Professional Science Master’s in Molecular Biosciences is designed to help science students transition into high-paying careers. It is often compared to the Masters in Business Administration, in that it trains students to be leaders and managers in a professional environment.
The PSM combines science with training in ethics and business, bridging the gap between academia and the workplace. One career-oriented aspect of the program is that it requires an internship with a business rather than a thesis. The nationwide shortage of scientists with managerial and business training means PSM graduates will be well positioned for employment.
The PSM is an excellent career choice for:
- Recent graduates with a bachelor’s degree in science who want to expand their science knowledge and develop the business skills needed to enter their chosen career.
- K-12 science teachers seeking additional education for career promotion and increased compensation.
- Midcareer professionals seeking advancement and enrichment in their current careers.
