The California State University is the largest statewide higher education system in the nation to launch Professional Science Master's (PSM) degree programs on multiple campuses. The PSM programs prepare students for careers in business, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. They are innovative Master's degree programs that combine graduate level education in the sciences and related fields with coursework in business, management, and communications and with an internship. The following CSU campuses currently have a program in place or have plans to offer the prestigious PSM program.
