capstone

Last week, students in the Master of Business and Science (MBS) degree were invited to a weekend filled with innovation, team-building, and fun!  

Congratulations to all Master of Business and Science (MBS) students who took part in our Capstone course this semester, and many congratulations to all graduating MBS students!

On May 6th and 7th, students in our Science and Technology Management Capstone course presented their projects to a panel of judges and their peers, online and in-person at the Center for Labor Education building.

Innovation is the heart of scientific progress, but it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Innovation requires research, experimentation, and ecosystems that fuel creativity. Students pursuing the Master of Business and Science (MBS) degree enroll in the course Science and Technology Management Capstone, where they work in teams to pick a science-based intellectual property and develop a plan to take it to market.  

Imagine a weekend where science meets innovation—welcome to the Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program’s Capstone retreat!

Students in our Capstone course were welcomed to join us at the Rutgers Inn and Conference Center for a weekend of workshops, team building, field trips, and fun.

We invited both in-person and online students to take part. One student traveled from upstate New York to attend!

Congratulations to all Master of Business and Science (MBS) students who took part in our Capstone course this semester! 

Congratulations to all Master of Business and Science (MBS) students who completed the Capstone course this semester!  

Students in the Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program know that we push them to reach new heights and step outside their comfort zones. All Master of Business and Science students finish their degrees by completing a Capstone project, where they work in groups to choose an intellectual property and develop a business plan to take it to market.

In place of a traditional master’s thesis, students in the Professional Science Master’s program end their academic journey with us by completing a Capstone project.

Since our program’s inception in 2010, all MBS students have finished their degree by completing our Capstone. In this distinctive course, students work in teams to choose an emerging science-derived intellectual property (IP) and develop a business plan to take this IP to market. Capstone allows students to practice skills learned throughout the MBS education, using knowledge of both science and business to commercialize successfully and manage the development of science-intensive enterprises.

At the Rutgers Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program, we encourage students to explore innovation. Recently, we were invited to share our knowledge at the Midwest Engineering Entrepreneurship Network (MEEN) Conference.
