“I had many, many reasons. For one, even canvassing the whole of the U.S., there are very few transportation-specific online programs. Even fewer offer a stand-alone graduate certificate programs, which can then also be applied to continuation in a master’s – the Master of Transportation and Urban Systems program – if one chooses to continue one’s education further.”
- Robert Wetmore, Schnectady, NY
