What is a PSM degree program?

PSM degree programs have emerged over the last two decades to provide students and practicing professionals with practical, career-specific advanced training in a specialized field.

- PSM programs consist of two years of academic and practicum training.
- Applicants with a background in engineering or life sciences are encouraged to apply, however the program is accessible for non-engineers who want to pursue this PSM to advance their biotech career.

- The PSM in biomanufacturing and biotechnology is designed with engineering courses that focus on key technology areas of interest to the Colorado bioscience and biotechnology industries. These include:
- Protein engineering
- Cell and tissue engineering
- Biofuels engineering.
