WPI continuing education programs expand to Waltham

Beginning in September, WPI will offer graduate certificate programs in technology marketing, management of technology, computer and communications networks, and software engineering and interface design at a new campus near Route 128 in Waltham, Mass. Continuing Education's highly successful UNIX System/ C Programming Certificate Program, now in its second year in Westborough, will also be available in Waltham.

The WPI Cabinet approved the proposal for the expansion in February. "We knew that there was a market for these programs in the area from a marketing study completed by the College Board's Office of Adult Learning and from our own careful investigation of the market for adult learners" says Continuing Education Director Arlene Lowenstein. "We also plan to bring our professional development seminars and other programs that we currently conduct at companies to our new Waltham facility."
