Science Professionals: Master’s Education for a Competitive World
NRC recommends “concerted action to accelerate the development nationally of PSM education”:• Expand beyond the NSF• Encourage states• Philanthropic institutions should continue to play role.• Professional and industry associations should include
PSMs in higher education strategies.• Higher education should support PSM development &
seek employer partners.• Employers should partner in creating PSM programs.
