Welcome to the

Professional Science Master's Degree Program
at California State University, Fresno

Starting Fall 2005, two Professional Science Master's (PSM) degrees will be offered at California State University, Fresno in Biotechnology and Forensic Science.  A PSM Degree will prepare students who have been educated in the sciences to enter industry/government careers directly rather than continuing their graduate education into more research-focused Ph.D. programs. These programs emphasize a strong industry/agency-centered approach in the curriculum, including familiarity with business/legal practices and culture.

The Professional Master's Degree in Biotechnology will be administered through the Department of Biology in the College of Science and Mathematics.  The Professional Master's of Science in Forensic Science will be offered through the Chemistry Department in the College of Science and Mathematics.  For more information about these degrees, the Biology Department or the Chemistry Department please consult the following links.
