masters of the intermodal universe

It's hard enough to find courses on intermodal transportation, let alone a degree program. But those interested in pursuing a Master of Science in Intermodal Transportation Management degree can now do so at the University of Denver's Intermodal Transportation Institute.

The school is currently accepting applications for fall admissions to its Executive Masters Program. The program, aimed at transportation professionals with at least five years' experience as a mid-level manager, is designed to prepare students for intermodal transportation leadership roles by developing an awareness of the local, national, and international impact of an intermodal system.


The 15-month program is delivered through a combination of five six-day onsite residences on the University of Denver's campus and offsite follow-up. This allows the professional to work full time, from anywhere, while earning a graduate degree.
