Fall 2024
Dear MBS Community,
As the fall 2024 semester begins, I am thrilled to welcome you all back to an exciting new chapter in your academic journey. The Professional Science Master’s program continues to prepare our students to step confidently into the STEM workforce.
This fall, we’re providing our students with both professional and social events. Our alumni continually report that our colloquium events are valuable aspects of our program, pushing students to step outside their comfort zones and open their eyes to new connections. We’ll host mingles, Virtual Fridays, workshops, and panel discussions on cutting-edge topics.
In today’s dynamic job market, it is crucial that we continue to adapt our curriculum to meet emerging trends and new technologies. We continue to introduce new courses such as Introduction to Product Design and Development, Basics of AI for Science Professionals, and Data Storytelling.
As part of our mission to foster a supportive community, we encourage you to take full advantage of our resources—including our alumni-student mentoring program, executive coaching, Design Your Life workshops, and Externship Exchange program.
For our large alumni community, we will roll out a new alumni portal called Graduway to facilitate engagement and networking. We will also be offering some exciting new professional education opportunities—so stay tuned!
Let’s make this semester one of growth, innovation, and achievement. Here’s to a successful Fall 2024!
Deborah Silver, Executive Director, Rutgers Professional Science Master's Program
