Feb. 3, 2009 (Space.com) -- A new institution of higher learning aims to solve grand challenges related to space science and down-to-earth issues facing humanity.
NASA announced Tuesday a new narrowly focused graduate studies program that will be a cooperative effort between the space agency and a group of big thinkers. The Singularity University (SU) plans to offer a nine-week graduate studies program, as well as three-day chief executive officer-level and 10-day management-level programs, starting in June. It will be located at the NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. According to a NASA statement, the SU curriculum will provide a broad, interdisciplinary exposure to ten fields of study: future studies and forecasting; networks and computing systems; biotechnology and bioinformatics; nanotechnology; medicine, neuroscience and human enhancement; artificial intelligence, robotics, and cognitive computing; energy and ecological systems; space and physical sciences; policy, law and ethics; and finance and entrepreneurship.
