I’m a technology professional in my early fifties who has been successful in my career but still hasn’t completed my college degree; something I’ve always considered a personal goal. I’m a bit concerned about fitting this into my schedule, but I’ve started exploring my options and came across an intriguing program offered through the University of Colorado and Coursera.
This program allows me to directly enter a master’s program by demonstrating my skills through a series of courses. I’m curious if anyone has experience with this or similar programs and how they are perceived by employers. Additionally, I’ve been trying to compare this option with others but haven’t found much information. Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated.
I have always wondered if this is how universities convince their fresh graduates to enroll in graduate school right away . Teaching their kids that it will be more difficult for them to get accepted the longer they wait.
I am aware that private K–12 institutions have been doing this for several years. After adding preschool classes, they inform parents that there is no guarantee unless their toddler is enrolled in preschool that their child will be admitted to middle school or high school.
This explains the flaws in our education system though we ain’t ready for that conversation.
That is an interesting thought that even the scholars in the country can’t think of. I do think that universities, even the ones with good reputations, are trying to find ways to stay competitive and of course, earn some bucks these days.
The University of Colorado’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management program is designed for professionals like you who want to advance their careers while managing a busy schedule.
If you think you are good for the same, just go ahead and enroll.
