Case Western Reserve University, one of the top 50 universities in the United States, has launched two new hybrid master’s degree programmes in partnership with LeapScholar, an end-to-end study abroad platform. These programmes, MS in Biomedical Engineering and MS in Mechanical Engineering, will enable Indian students to pursue their studies at a reduced cost.
LeapScholar claims that through this hybrid format, students can complete part of their coursework online in India and attend the remaining classes on CWRU’s campus in Cleveland, Ohio. Depending on currency conversion rates, the cost of the MS in Biomedical Engineering programme and the MS in Mechanical Engineering programme can be reduced by up to 30% (approximately USD 20,556 or INR 17 lacs).
The traditional prerequisites of GRE scores and English language tests have also been removed to make the programmes more accessible. Additionally, both programmes have received the STEM designation, allowing students to qualify for a three-year post-study work visa upon completion, similar to full-time international students.
Commenting on the launch, Co-founder of Leap, Vaibhav Singh said: “The interest in hybrid master’s programmes is increasing among Indian students, and our expanding partnership with CWRU strengthens our commitment towards making more programs available at an affordable cost. The two new MS programmes will create world-class opportunities for those pursuing international careers in Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.”
This new development is an exciting opportunity for teachers and educators to expand their students’ horizons and help them pursue the best education opportunities abroad. LeapScholar’s team of world study specialists and student advisors provide assistance to students at every step of the journey, from choosing the right University to helping with application and financing guidance to scheduling job interviews.
Applications for the MS in Biomedical Engineering and MS in Mechanical Engineering programmes will open in early 2024 for Indian students. The deadline for applications is July 28, 2024, and the fall session starts online in August 2024.
