Testimonial

The University of Kentucky’s MFS program was crucial to my career’s preparation and successes as this program did not limit me to a classroom. Each professor and class encouraged me to seek applicable ‘real-life’ scenarios with each topic. I always left class excited about my new found curiosities in manufacturing and eager to see how I would be exposed to them in my future career path.
