The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship program is a National Science Foundation initiative designed to establish innovative new models for graduate education, emphasizing collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. The goal is to train scientists who can work on interdisciplinary teams, integrating scientific inquiry with state-of-the-art modeling, data analysis, interpretation, and information management systems. OSU currently offers two IGERT programs:
Industry needs employees who not only understand the technical nature of their projects but the business and legal aspects as well, and who are able to communicate their mission to broad audiences. Sloan Professional M.S. Degree Programs produce students who understand science and business and the inherent connection between the two disciplines in industry. The success of science professionals is based on individuals who understand these connections. With initial support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and in collaboration with technology industries, Oregon State University currently offers four different Professional Science M.S. (PSM) Programs:
Funded by the National Science Foundation, the Rural Science Education Program places OSU students in rural schools to enrich the science curriculum with hands-on science activities. The curriculum includes simple and innovative experiments that integrate advances in biotechnology and ecology, encouraging critical thinking about the impacts of agriculture on the environment and the implications of advanced scientific research on human lives. Six graduate and six undergraduate fellowships are available in 2004-05 for OSU students interested in enriching science education in rural schools near Corvallis.
