FINANCIAL SUPPORT

As a professional program, Illinois PSM students are expected to devote 100% of their time and energies to their studies. Unlike many graduate programs, Illinois PSM students support themselves and are discouraged from holding jobs or assistantships while enrolled. Therefore scholarships or other forms of financial support for PSM students are most welcome.

ADVISORY BOARD

The Illinois PSM depends on the active engagement of our Advisory Board for expert advice and guidance on all matters of program content, delivery, and on-going development. The business relevance of the PSM program is critical, and industry involvement is key.
