The Program and its Features
In today's global economic climate, science graduates need skills and credentials that place them above and beyond the crowd. In fact, more than ever, corporations, government laboratories and agencies, non-profits, and other industrial sectors are demanding that their science-educated employees also command various business-related skills.
That's where we come in.
We educate students who have a drive to succeed in careers that combine science, business, and industry. We specifically and strategically prepare you for an exciting and triumphant career as:
- a scientist in industry, or
- a science-trained professional practicing marketing, technology transfer, business development, public policy, intellectual property, or many other subjects in science-based enterprises.
