Professional Science Masters program at UCF

The University of Central Florida is offering a new Professional Science Masters degree program in M&S starting in mid-October. Applications will be taken through Oct 9 and two web-based classes will be offered by UCF starting the week of October 12. It is a two year cohort program which can be taken completely on-line. See http://www.ist.ucf.edu for detailed information. Dr. Peter Kincaid at 407-882-1330 can also provide more information.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is partnering with UCF and will teach the business component of the program. They also offer a Certificate in M&S Management as part of the partnership. The program is intended mainly for working professionals or those with technical backgrounds who want to shift to M&S as a career. PSM’s are a relatively new phenomenon, but have been shown to efficiently educate science managers and PSM graduates in other programs frequently have higher salaries than their colleagues with PhD’s.
