In October, Part-Time Programs in Engineering and Applied Science gained a new name: the Engineering and Applied Science friendsPrograms for Professionals, or EPP for short. The name change is being made to emphasize the program’s professional status rather than its part-time status, better reflecting the needs of students and its overall mission. The programs themselves will not change. EPP will offer 16 graduate-level programs at locations throughout the Baltimore/Washington region.

EPP hosts several open houses each semester to enable prospective students to learn more about the graduate programs, meet with academic advisers, apply, and register. These informal events do not require reservations.
