MS in Operations Design and Leadership
Amanda Koski
"I chose WPI for my graduate degree program because it has a great reputation in the technical field. Knowing that I eventually plan to apply my business skills to engineering applications, I knew that WPI would provide the most relevant educational experience. I also liked the fact that I could take electives that would help me with my current profession."
