Sloan Foundation to assist in the development of at least five new Professional Science Master (PSM) degree programs to be offered by various PASSHE universities. The programs all would be designed in close cooperation with employers to ensure they meet workforce demand in high-technology fields. The first five programs are expected to be approved in time to enroll students this fall; an additional five, by Spring 2012.Kevin Hensil, khensil@passhe.edu
