New Engineering Program Approved at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore, a historically black educational institution in Princess Anne, Maryland, has received approval to begin a four-year undergraduate engineering degree program. Previously, students taking engineering classes at the university were obliged to transfer to another university after two years in order to complete their degrees.

Under the new program, students can specialize in four areas of engineering: electrical, computer, mechanical, and aerospace.
