Sloan Foundation had launched the Professional Science Master’s (PSM) initiative, whichencouraged the development of this new type of master’s degree aimed at providing studentswith advanced mathematical and technological knowledge, while developing practical skillsvalued by industry1. This initiative has since been taken over by the Council of Graduate Schools(2006). Since its inception, close to 350 programs have received the PSM affiliation, includingthree of our professional master’s programs (e.g. structural engineering, energy systemsengineering, and healthcare systems engineering). The significant growth of such programsnationwide indicates their acceptance by institutions of higher education as an integral part ofgraduate studies and

Colleges and universities in the United States have become increasingly reliant on international students to fill Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-related graduate programs and support their STEM-related research agendas and patent generation. Moreover, because demand among foreign students for a U.S. degree seems unlimited, many colleges and universities have seen them as a quick fix for offsetting lagging interest among domestic students in graduate education, especially in STEM fields. These international students represent real revenues and significant enrollments. According to the latest data from National Center for Educational Statistics
