The Modeling and Simulation Professional Science MS degree program is a two-year course of study offered entirely online by UCF.

Who is it for?
The Modeling and Simulation Professional Science MS degree is a business/technical degree for working professionals and others who want to expand their knowledge and skills in modeling and simulation business and enhance their career opportunities.

The course provides a strong combination of business and technical courses and includes a graduate internship.

Coursework also qualifies for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's 18 credit hour certificate program in Modeling and Simulation Management. Enrollees qualifying for the Aerospace Workforce Transition (AWT) Program may be eligible for a grant of up to $4,500 to pursue the M&S Management Certificate. See links at left for contact information.

Curriculum
The curriculum consists of 12 courses (36 credit hours). At least 18 credit hours of courses must be at the 6000 level. The program is set up so that students generally take 21 credit hours (7 courses) of technical courses and 15 credit hours (5 courses) of business courses. The capstone requirement for this PSM track is fulfilled by students completing a 3-credit-hour graduate internship.

Course Descriptions
Courses are taught by an interdisciplinary faculty. The curriculum of the Professional Science Master's track in the M&S MS program has been designed in part using valuable input from leaders in various industrial and governmental sectors of the modeling and simulation communities. Students may choose to take courses from either of two specialty areas. Upon taking the foundation core of courses, students may then choose either the courses from the General Business Management specialty area or the courses from the Entrepreneurship specialty area, depending upon their career apirations.

Go to the Graduate Catalog for descriptions of individual courses at the foundation core and specialty areas.
