Wartburg College students interested in a master’s degree in industrial engineering can begin earning credits toward that end the summer after their junior year, thanks to a partnership with Iowa State University.
The “4+1” cooperative program will allow students to earn a bachelor’s degree in engineering science from Wartburg and a master’s degree in industrial engineering from Iowa State in just five years.
“It is a real value-add for our students to have the opportunity for advanced degree study in a time frame that is not much different than what it would have taken them to get a bachelor’s degree if they had gone to another institution,” said Daniel Black, professor of physical science and engineering.
