Professional studies is a term used to classify academic programs that are either applied and interdisciplinary, or training for a profession.
As an interdisciplinary program, professional studies leads to a Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS), Master of Professional Studies (MPS), or Doctor of Professional Studies (DPS). A BPS is similar to a Bachelor of General Studies with a greater emphasis on practical and technical training (and a corresponding lower emphasis on liberal arts), and therefore of greater interest to mid-career students.[citation needed] MPS degrees are usually course-based with a report or project component rather than a research thesis.US Department of Education. Master\'s Degrees Programs. Retrieved on 2007-04-25. The US National Science Foundation considers a DPS to be equivalent to a PhD.US Department of Education. Research Doctorate Programs. Retrieved on 2007-04-25.
As professional training, professional studies is the activity practised in a first-professional degree or certification program. Professional studies usually combines theory and practice-based professional learning, focusing on a body of knowledge that is more strictly-delineated and canonical than non-professional studies. Students are trained to ensure expected standards and adequate service delivery in the practise of a profession.US Department of Education. First-Professional Studies. Retrieved on 2007-04-25.
