Master of Professional Studies (MPS)
The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) degree is a multi-disciplinary master's degree designed to develop advanced professional skill sets in various subject areas not currently represented at FHSU by the Master of Science (MS) credentials. A notable feature of the degree program is the flexibility to combine a major subject area with one or more cognate areas. By customizing your education, you will gain the professional workforce skills desired by employers in commerce, government, health care, non-profits, and information technology. Also, a majority of our programs are available online making it easier for you to earn your degree anytime, from anywhere.
The MPS curriculum contains five components:
- 9-hour core curriculum, which includes a research methods course, a statistics course, and a concentration-specific introductory graduate course
