Details to include information about online graduate degree and certificate programs for engineering and technical professionals

Engineers, technical managers and other professionals interested in moving into mid- and senior-level management positions in high-tech industries can advance their careers through programs offered by Rochester Institute of Technology. The university is hosting a webinar, “Engineering Leadership Programs at RIT,” from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, May 9. Program disciplines include product development, operations, manufacturing, systems engineering, supply chain management and project management.

RIT offers part-time graduate degrees and professional certificates through the Kate Gleason College of Engineering. Programs are fully online, and students can enroll in one or two courses each term to customize their pace of learning. RIT has been recognized for its online master’s degrees and certificate programs.

“Students have found the skills developed through these programs not only help them become more marketable, they also foster the self-confidence needed to take on new responsibilities,” said Mark Smith, director of leadership programs in the engineering college. “The combination of engineering and business coursework provides the board perspective needed to lead today’s high technology enterprises.”
