Our master of science programs prepare students for careers as researchers, clinicians and educators across a broad spectrum of industries. Over the course of their studies, students receive highly individualized training through a combination of didactic coursework, research apprenticeship and the preparation and oral defense of a thesis. Our programs encourage critical thinking and creative problem-solving, and tight-knit cohorts foster a collaborative and congenial learning environment for everyone.
