Master of Professional Science Drop-In Information Sessions
Fridays 1:00 - 3:00PM EST
Learn more about our MPS program! MPS Sr. Program Coordinators Kela McEntee and Chelsea Begnaud are available for drop-in hours every Friday from 1:00pm-3:00pm ET through April 12, 2024 (except for March 22, and April 5, 2024). Prospective students may ask about our 14 different tracks, the application process, course topics, tuition waivers, student life, the internship, careers after graduation, and anything else you want to know about the program without needing an appointment. There is no time limit on drop-in visits, but if you would like to meet longer than 15 minutes to address your questions, we encourage you to schedule a one-on-one virtual information session to meet your needs.
To keep interactions private and provide one-on-one support, only one person can drop-in at a time. If you receive a notification that you are waiting for the host to let you into the Zoom room, please wait patiently as we assist another prospective student. You may remain in the waiting room and will be allowed entry according to the queue. We appreciate your understanding!
