Starting in fall 2020, a new agreement with George Mason University will help them do that. Mary Washington undergraduates will have the opportunity to take graduate-level courses in Mason&rsquo;s Volgenau School of Engineering (VSE) during their senior year. Students can earn up to nine credits that will be applied to their bachelor&rsquo;s degree at UMW and potentially later be used toward a master&rsquo;s degree in engineering at Mason. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2019\/10\/22\/umw-pathway-provides-grad-level-engineering-opportunities\/\">Read more.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engineers share a lot in common with superheros.The latter leap tall buildings in a single bound, fight evil-doers and travel faster than a speeding bullet.
