生物可再生系统科学硕士

尽管宾夕法尼亚州立大学是一所大型大学，但农业和生物工程系的气氛却是小型大学或学院的典型代表。我们鼓励和鼓励我系的研究生与教职员工一起参加所有学术，专业和社交活动。促进研究生专业发展的其他功能包括参加全国专业会议的财政支持以及为研究活动提供协助的文书和技术支持。BRS的研究生课程利用了该学院现有的科学，工程和木材产品专业知识，并允许扩展到一个以生物为基础的领域。它还使拥有CAS本科学位的学生可以参加针对新兴生物经济学的科学和商业方面的研究生课程。
The Bioscience and Health Policy track will give students a deep background in biological sciences complemented by courses in sociology, economics and policy studies to foster their understanding of the role of science in policymaking and the role of public policy in science. In addition to science courses, students will take an overview course in Science Policy and Ethics, a management course and a seminar jointly with the students involved in the other tracks. Furthermore direct access to the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy will allow students to work closely with policy scholars as well as meet with many of the leaders in science and technology policy. This program focuses on training bioscience and health policy analysts, providing them with the tools to face the complex challenges inherent in the bioscience research, public health, and the U.S. healthcare systems and health-related industries. Upon completing the MSBHP degree, students will: Be knowledgeable in current advanced bioscience and health policy topics affecting society Be able to integrate science knowledge into better policies and practices. Demonstrate written, oral, and visual communication strategies required to work effectively across science, business, and government. The MSBHP degree is a non-thesis master's degree. A minimum of 39 credit hours to satisfy degree requirements. Additional credit hours may be required depending on course selection. A 3-6 month internship.
