About the Episode

The era of technological disruption we're living in has really only just begun. In a day and age where access to education and information is easier than ever before, many institutions are struggling to create innovative programs that are relevant to the needs of today's market, not mention also attractive to today's highly-educated, debt-averse prospective graduate students. On today's episode of the Enrollify Podcast, we speak with Joanne Wang from Vanderbilt's School of Engineering about how Vanderbilt is designing and marketing brand new graduate programs like their Master's in Cyber Physical Systems (think "Alexa" and "the internet of things") and their Master's in Risk, Reliability, and Resilience (think "engineering solutions and systems to respond more sustainably after a hurricane hits"!).
