The School of Technology at Purdue University in 1998 began delivering a Weekend Master’s Degree Program in Technology aimed at serving working professionals who live all over the Midwest. This program is designed to meet the growing demand for advanced education in technology by taking advantage of the readily accessible technology that now makes distance education possible. The program is a unique interdisciplinary curriculum designed for professionals in a wide variety of industrial and business environments. The curriculum combines courses from manufacturing technology, information technology, and industrial distribution, and requires the completion of a “directed project” that is much like a master’s thesis, except that students are expected to tackle an applied problem from their own work environment.
