Master of Applied Science

 

Graduate photoIf you are looking for a graduate program to combine business and technical knowledge, explore the Master of Applied Science (MAS) degree at Missouri Western State University, a program unique to the state.

Unlike the traditional master’s program, Western’s MAS degree provides a solid core of courses in the chosen option, combined with courses in business, communication, marketing, economics, statistics, and management.

The MAS degree is a Professional Master’s Degree because it integrates graduate level business knowledge with technical competency. Applied learning and applied research are important aspects of the degree, and students will work in teams and apply their skills to real problems and issues. Internships may be a component of the program as well.

Western offers three options for the MAS degree:

Chemistry: For information about the Chemistry option, contact the Department of Chemistry at 816-271-4371.

Human Factors and Usability Testing: For information about the Human Factors and Usability option, contact the Department of Psychology at 816-271-4444.
