Welcome!

Covid-19 has certainly made this a challenging time for everyone. The impacts are significant for health, financial, and work for so many people.  

Many of us are still working from home, others may be back in the workplace, and wherever you are - you might be experiencing uncertainty about your career path. While it may not feel like it, now is actually a good time to improve your skills and advance your career options for the post-COVID world. I encourage you to consider graduate classes or maybe even a full degree in Engineering and Technology Management.

While in the ETM Department we value face to face interaction and the networking opportunities they bring, we are currently offering courses in an Attend Anywhere format. This means that, right now, we teach class from the classroom with some students choosing to attend remotely. Our classes are not a canned online experience for  mass audiences. We work hard to maintain the benefits of in-person experiences through small, interactive classes and personal attention. 

If this format works for you, you can continue to study remotely, even after things return back to normal. If you are not a fan of online, we are committed to returning fully to the classroom as soon as it is safe.

The ETM Department offers several Graduate Certificates, a Master of Science, and a Doctoral program, and they all dovetail together. If you only want to brush up your skills in a single class or two, you can do so as a non-degree seeking student at a much reduced tuition and apply this towards a later certificate or the M.S. Our credits are fully accredited and, if life takes you in a different direction, you can transfer them into other programs with their approval. You receive a quality education that is tailored for the needs of industry. The ETM Department is world-renowned, organizes PICMET - the largest annual conference in the field, and serves as editorial headquarters for the IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management. 

Now is the time to apply for Winter 2023 - classes start January 2023.

Please look around and contact us for more information!
