Rice University Space Studies Professional Graduate Program/Dagmar Beck

Rice University Space Studies Professional Graduate Program/Dagmar Beck

Rice put together a Masters program on space.  They take advanced science education, management & communication skills, practical work experience and involvement of companies from the onset.  A 100% of their students are employment.  The Rice faculty works with a Board of affiliates to build the curriculum.

It is a two year program.  There is a year of a coursework.  Then the students have six month internships.   (The student learn more and the companies get more.)  They come back and report on the internships.  They are working closely with NASA.

She listed some of the courses students take, some of the applications they target for and the various careers they may work towards.  She listed the companies which support the program.

She encouraged us to tell others about the program so students know about the option.

She said if anyone in the audience needed an intern to please contact her.
