I hope this message finds you all well. EPP continues to grow its professional M.S. degree in Engineering and Public Policy, adding nine new students this year. As we gear up for this year’s recruiting season, we are hoping you could help us get the word out to potentially interested students.
EPP M.S. students aspire to work at the intersection of technology and public policy and to grapple with the implications of emerging technologies for organizations and society. Incoming students have a variety of technical backgrounds from their prior degrees or professional experience. While most students have a science or engineering undergraduate degree, we also consider social scientists with an interest in technology issues and a strong quantitative background. EPP students go on to Continue reading
