Thanks, that's what I suggested but he wants a degree program and doesn't want to wait a year. I thought I'd ask, just in case someone had heard of something.
I have a friend who decided whose funding was pulled on a project and decided to start grad school this Fall 2015. I advised that there aren't any top graduate degree programs in Northern California that would be accepting students for Fall 2015. He is looking for a Masters in Engineering (general, business, management, and/or technology). If you know of any please pass them along. Thanks, in advance!
