Certificates and Concentrations

“The integration specifically between things that you’re working on in every single class that I’ve taken. When you have to do a project and you’re tying in things that you actually work with, it was way more beneficial to learn from. And also that you could tie in exactly what you were learning and give it back to your work…That really solidified everything that I was learning.”

Rachel Back, 2023 METM Graduate

“There’s a lot to learn if your path is going to go beyond the technical skills of the engineering discipline that you have, or other technical discipline, and this degree really will allow you to move forward and be seen as someone ready to move forward into those roles because of the other skill sets that you’re going to learn about and you’re going to employ throughout this program.”

Paul Graves, 2023 METM Graduate

“Despite it being online, I felt so close with everyone, and I don’t think that community is something that’s easily built when it’s an online program, so I was really, really appreciative of that.”

Maryanne Stewart, 2023 METM Graduate
