In short, this student-centered program provides a pathway for working professionals to a quality Master's level education with live instruction from a world-class university. Feedback from our more than 250 alumni consistently echoes the value of the connections these alumni have made with the university, faculty, and each other as a result of the program's combination of delivery format, rigor, and flexibility.
I encourage those with a technical background who are considering the program to contact me and the program's Assistant Director, Patsy Messinger, to explore the program further. I also welcome feedback and interaction with current students, alumni, and potential industry partners who are interested in contributing to and further enhancing the program's mission of providing a world-class Master's level education in the area of Engineering Management to working professionals.
