Episode 15: Developing and Marketing New Graduate Programs in Response to Today’s Market Demands: A Conversation with Vanderbilt’s Director of Professional Programs

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”!).- - - - Connect With Our Host: Mallory Willsea  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/ https://twitter.com/mallorywillsea About The Enrollify Podcast Network: The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.
