I would like to get thoughts about this program from the people who have had past experiences. Hopkins MS Systems Engineering is through the EP program. I have heard different views from various people. Did talk to the program head of the department, according to him though the admissions criteria is little relaxed the classes itself are challenging. The program does have the thesis option for interested student. Head of the department did mention that you get a MS Systems Engineering diploma through Whiting school of engineering. I work full-time and would like to get the degree in MS Systems Eng. as it would help me at my current job. My company is willing to pay about 50% for this program. The total cost is approximately 35k (considering ever increasing tuition of colleges every year). Can anyone comment on the program or engineering through EP at hopkins? Is it worth the time and money? Will it help me in future? Thank you
