| The
Graduate programs in academic science departments at the University of
Southern California (USC) and elsewhere have stressed their Ph.D. programs,
often to the exclusion of master's programs. The University of Southern
California, with support from the Alfred
P. Sloan Foundation, has created three new professional master's
degrees in the sciences designed to meet the demands of graduate students
and employers.
These
Professional Master's Degree programs are Physics
for Business Applications, Computational
Biology, and Computational
Linguistics. All these programs have the common feature of
being interdisciplinary and are designed to provide graduates with a complementary
set of skills.
