[The MSE program was] a collaborative learning experience where I was able to share and gain knowledge on manufacturing systems engineering from my professors and peers. [It offered a] unique educational opportunity to gain exposure to new concepts and cutting-edge technologies from individuals who come from varying industries and backgrounds.

UW–Madison offers one of the best MSW programs in the country, and the Saturday scheduling of the part-time program allowed me to have an excellent education while keeping my full-time job. The part-time program is a rewarding experience for its in-depth education and the connections it has to agencies across the state.

Completing UW’s learning analytics program enabled me to transition to the data science and research team at CommonLit and become eligible to apply for a fellowship. A big motivation behind pursuing the program was my interest in exploring opportunities to contribute to educational research, so I’m excited to be making progress toward that goal.
