Professional Science Masters

The Professional Science Master's (PSM) is a new type of master of science  (M.S.) degree in the sciences. It provides a wider variety of career options than provided by current graduate programs in the sciences. PSM degrees are structured to:

  • Deepen a student's knowledge beyond what can be learned in the undergraduate four-year course of study;
  • Fuse several scientific fields at a level of depth and complexity, 
  • Integrate studies in the natural sciences with knowledge and training in business, management, law, or other professional areas.

PSM in Applied Biosciences & Biotechnology

The Mission of the PSM program in Applied Bioscience and Biotechnology is to educate students for knowledge-based careers in industry and other professional programs. The goal is to graduate students whose success is based upon:

  • A basic knowledge in the biosciences and biotechnology together with business and entrepreneurial skills.
  • The ability to effectively communicate in a professional setting.
  • A proven competency in a specific science area based on research or an internship experience.

Program Goals

  • Provide students with solid science training combined with professional skills.
  • Contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the biosciences and biotechnology through professional activities and scholarship.
  • Provide students with knowledge in core areas of science together with broad experience in a number of cross-disciplinary areas.
  • Develop and strengthen student skills to effectively deal with cross-disciplinary biology issues and compete successfully for jobs in a multi-disciplinary career path.
  • Produce the next generation of science and biotechnology researchers and entrepreneurs in Maine and the New England region.
