HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS AT THE UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO:
Students apply to and enroll in a “home department” graduate degree program, where they receive their science training. (Currently participating departments are: Chemistry, Geography, Geology and Physics.) In addition, students would simultaneously apply to and enroll in the Professional Science Management Advanced Certificate Program to receive additional training in computation, business, and ethics – as well as complete a semester-long internship.
Upon graduation, students receive two credentials: (1) A graduate level degree from their home department; and, (2) An advanced graduate certificate in Professional Science Management.
