The Master of Science in Engineering Management is a 30-credit non-thesis master’s program to prepare engineers for careers in the management of engineering and technical organizations and systems.
The program consists of four foundational courses in analyzing data-driven economic decision-making. It also offers the flexibility to choose one of eight specializations. These specializations allow students to focus on their specific areas of interest.
Each specialization is composed of a set of four specialization courses. These courses prepare students to gain expertise in a particular industrial context or address a specific class of complex problems. In addition, students will select six credit hours of electives, allowing them to broaden their skill sets. This program is available for full-time on-campus students and students wishing to complete the program entirely online.
