M. Eng program in UMD

Sorry for double posting (posted in hvac section as well)
I want to get as many responses as possible

This is University of Maryland's Master's in Engineering course list.

Do you think it's a good program to pursue for someone who wants to do MEP/HVAC consulting?

I'm a little skeptical about this program because it does not require GRE. Just 3 letters of recommendation and a transcript. Do other M Eng. programs require GRE?

If this is a legit program then I could end up saving a lot on housing/commuting costs.

Please offer your opinions

Seems like a decent program. The undergraduate programs are ABET accredited. If the classes and schedule suit you, go for it. Your transcript will state that you earned a Master of Engineering, it will say nothing about whether you took the GRE or not. My graduate program did not require it, but only because I went to the same school where I earned my undergradaute degree. They do require it for undergraduate degrees from other universities.

If you want to get a Doctorate, then a Master of Engineering may not be what you want. My coworker was getting his Master of Engineering until he found out the program he was taking will not allow him to continue to get his Doctorate. He is switching to a Master of Science this semester. He is actually going to UMD.

Johns Hopkins has the same policy as UMD.
