What is a PSM?
A Professional Science Master's is an innovative graduate degree that typically consists of two years of academic training in an emerging or interdisciplinary area of science, mathematics, or technology. The PSM also contains a professional component that may include internships and "cross-training" in business and communications. All have been developed in concert with industry and are designed to dovetail into present and future professional career opportunities.

What are the roles of the NPSMA?
