The Professional Science Master's (PSM) offered by Rice University is a two-year degree that prepares students for work outside academia. Instead of specializing in a research area, one will learn what it takes to become a well-rounded, technically adept professional.

As per my knowledge, Rice University does not offer M.S. in Finance. It offers:
M.S. in Bioscience and Health Policy
M.S. in Environmental Analysis
M.S. in Space Studies
M.S. in Subsurface Geoscience

The PSM degrees combine an interdisciplinary curriculum with business training and hands-on experience, enabling graduates to acquire a new "tool-set" for success in a business environment.

It is the goal of PSM that by integrating a disciplinary course of study with shared experiences that enhance the student's awareness and key skills in management, communications policy, and ethics, the graduate will be familiar with the culture of business and industry and will see future chances of success enhanced.

Each degree is composed of science courses, a set of cohort courses, and an internship or practical work experience. Each student will have a faculty adviser to help generate a personalized course of study that will enhance the student's core of knowledge.


The PSM program offers a broad and flexible curriculum:

Each program has a variety of focus areas and can be adapted to career path

Support and guidance will be provided if one is not yet sure which area to focus on within chosen program. Career paths options are available for students.

For students interested in diving deeper into the management and business side of program, a MBA/PSM coordinated degree has been developed.
