"PSM (MBS) is the unique type of program that prepares students by providing with both business and science knowledge. I have gained this unique combination of knowledge from this program. I am glad that I chose to pursue the MBS degree because I wouldn’t have gained the broad spectrum of knowledge from any other program."
