[Chemistry_faculty] FW: competition

[Leonard Mueller]

One challenge for different target populations is the cost of professional
school tuition. The UCLA program is $36k/year just for tuition.

I believe this is a good idea for the following reasons:



-increases enrollment in graduate courses and thus allows us to offer a
wider range

-provides a pathway to attract local students who are unsure about going
all the way for PhD; as such, it will increase domestic in-state
enrollment. Ultimately, we may convince the best of them to become PhD
students

-there is likely some funding coming to the department as a portion of the
fees out of state students pay

-it provides additional educational opportunity to our stakeholders at
minimal incremental cost to the department

Colleagues,

You may find this interesting. I expect that we could do something even
better if we put ourselves to it. I would be interested in your opinions on
this. Perhaps we can have a discussion on the Dept Slack regarding a
professional masters program.
