"The accounting, marketing and operations management courses you take in this program allow you to become well-versed in critical areas that directly impact the financial bottom line of a business. The management courses challenge you to think in a different mindset beyond the typical engineering comfort zone of equations and numbers."

"Being able to choose courses from the Engineering curriculum allowed me to develop technical skills tailored to what I wanted to do in my career. Taking the management classes helped me in networking and in communicating effectively with coworkers."

"After I completed my undergrad in Biomedical Engineering, I sometimes felt that I still wasn’t prepared for the industry. Combining my six-month graduate internship and my MS program, now I know I am ready for industry."

"Purdue's Professional MS degree in Biomedical Device Development provided me with an advanced degree that has greatly improved my development opportunities within the medical device industry, especially in terms of employability."

"My experience in the program had a lasting impact on my career. I was able to learn life-long skills both technical and soft skills. In addition, I was able to develop meaningful relationships with my professors and peers. "

"One aspect that I found particularly appealing about the program was its duration. The one-year non-thesis format allowed for a quick entry and exit, which suited my career aspirations. As someone who aims to reach upper management positions eventually, gaining a master's degree in such a concise timeframe was quite advantageous. Additionally, the program's emphasis on business and financial aspects broadened my perspective beyond traditional engineering. Project management courses provided insights into the financial workings of major companies. Analyzing year-end reports and tracking the movement of money within major organizations gave me a holistic understanding of business operations."
