Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

Professional Science Master's Degree

Apply

Foundation grants in this program are likely to encourage three forms of Professional Science Master's degrees:

  • Those that deepen a student's knowledge beyond what can be learned in a four-year course of study, but stay within a disciplinary domain.  (For example, acoustics)
  • Those that fuse scientific fields at a level of depth and complexity hard for undergraduates to achieve; in many cases, the fusion may be with computer or information sciences.
  • Those that integrate study in the natural sciences and mathematics with knowledge and training in management, law, or other professional domains.

Grant projects in this area should be aligned with the interests of both faculty and students.  Success requires a committed and enthusiastic faculty.

Interested grantseekers with a relevant project idea should email a one page letter of inquiry to Program Director Michael Teitelbaum.
