Linking Science and Business

We developed our Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program in biotechnology to help students bridge the worlds of business and biotechnology and emerge from the university with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively contribute to the field. You can see some of their stories at http://youtu.be/QIgjIzLZhsc.
PSM students have a 97% employment rate at graduation.

We were intentional about wanting to ensure that both science and business courses were rigorous and practical and build in a capstone project with industry leaders and public presentation as a pre-requisite for project completion. Not surprisingly, the combination of theoretical and applied learning has been a huge boon, leading to a 97% employment rate at graduation.
On Friday of last week we learned that PSM graduate Arvin Tahami (class of ’12) was named a Finalist for the prestigious Presidential Management Fellowship program (PMF) that awards outstanding students and recent graduates with Federal grant opportunities through the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Congratulations to Arvin and to all of our outstanding PSM students!
