Think of it like this: BU is the entire house, and MET is one specific room (albeit a large and important one) in that house.
MET focuses specifically on professional and continuing education for adult learners. They offer undergraduate and graduate programs, but their curriculum and approach often differ from the traditional undergraduate experience found in BU's other colleges like the College of Arts & Sciences or the College of Engineering. MET often offers:
* Flexible scheduling: Evening, weekend, and online courses are common.
* Accelerated programs: Designed to help students complete degrees faster.
* Professional focus: Programs are geared toward specific career paths and often incorporate professional experience.
* Adult-oriented learning environment: A different learning environment catered to the specific needs of adult learners.
While MET students are fully BU students and receive a BU degree, their experience will likely differ from students enrolled in BU's other colleges.
