MS in Public Engagement

The MS in Public Engagement in Science, Design and Communication trains students to research, analyze, and communicate with diverse communities. NMT partners with local Socorro and New Mexico state organizations to provide hands-on STEM-based education. The program will well prepare students for the workforce through direct work with local industry and non-profits. Contact Dr. Elisabeth Kramer-Simpson for more information.
