Timothy Madigan

“The accelerated format and ability to carry up undergraduate coursework allowed me to complete the program in two semesters. The master’s program is much more flexible than undergraduate programs in really allowing you to explore your interests. I took courses in developing drugs and devices, and I now do that in my career!”

— Tim Madigan, MS’22, regulatory affairs specialist, Stryker

Lee Herman

“My experience not only taught me the fundamentals of engineering but how to prepare for real life in the engineering world. The focus on teamwork and communication has already helped me establish myself at my new job. Plus, UW–Madison alumni love supporting other alumni, and that networking aspect alone will help me immensely in my future career.”
