Another day, another very interesting (and unusual) masters program: Chapman University in Orange, California is offering a "Masters of Science in Economic System Design (MSESD)". This combines "economics, human behavior, and computational technology." One very interesting thing is that the program was started by a Nobel laureate who is still on Chapman's faculty (maybe someday U.D. will have a Nobelist?!).
For more information you can go to the program's website or look at the brochure (Penny has a hard copy, but it's also online).
Oh, and did I mention that financial aid is available? This is unusual for most Masters programs, but the ones that are unique --- like this one and the one at Notre Dame I posted yesterday --- often do have some kind of support (probably because they're viewed as a little more "risky", either because they are new or because they don't fit in the usual categories).

Notre Dame Masters Program
Here's a very interesting (new) Master's program at Notre Dame: It's called the "Engineering, Science, and Technology Entrepreneurship Excllence Master's" (ESTEEM, get it?) Program. The little blurb I got is given below: it sounds very interesting, and is only 1 year long (financial aid is available!). Go to the website for more details and to apply: esteem.nd.edu.
This year, we have launched an exciting, new master’s degree program at Notre Dame for science, computer science, math, and engineering graduates. This program is designed for students who do not intend to pursue a Ph.D. in their field. It offers them a way to apply their undergraduate science or engineering background to the high technology business sector instead. Currently, this program is half-way through its first year, and the results have exceeded expectations.
ESTEEM (Engineering, Science, and Technology Entrepreneurship Excellence Master) is an innovative one-year accelerated master’s degree program developed jointly by the College of Science, the College of Engineering, and the Mendoza College of Business to address the many challenges engineering and science graduates encounter in today’s high technology business world. Focused on innovation, entrepreneurship, and product development, the program is designed to help students translate their quantitative skills to the high technology arena. Graduates of the ESTEEM program will receive a Master of Science degree in engineering, science, and technology entrepreneurship.
