New Engineering Programs Make Hopkins Students Job-ready

The Johns Hopkins University has added three new engineering master’s degree programs to prepare students to immediately enter the work force.

Most other engineering programs at Hopkins are designed for working professionals or students who plan to go on to earn a doctoral degree, but the new programs will help students quickly find a job in this harsh economy, school officials said.

The programs are designed to be completed in a year to a year and a half, and they are in engineering management, bioengineering innovation and design, and financial mathematics.

The university’s Whiting School of Engineering will hold an open house from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. today, in the Sherwood Room of the Levering Hall on the Homewood campus. Representatives from the programs will be available to discuss the new master’s degrees.
