Curriculum—The master of science in engineering management (M.S.E.M.) provides engineers with tools to more effectively manage people, projects, technology, and information in their careers to promote economic growth, competitiveness, ethical decision-making, and environmental responsibility. As people in engineering positions often manage technical projects of varying size and complexity, the M.S.E.M. provides an excellent foundation. To meet the needs of practitioners, courses are offered in the evening and are available to remote sites by interactive television. Full-time enrollment is possible and the course structure allows for unique research opportunities.
Admission Requirements—All applicants must meet the general admission requirements of the Graduate School. Applicants should have completed an undergraduate degree in an engineering discipline. However, an applicant with a degree in another technical major and with a substantial background in engineering may qualify. Such students may be admitted on a case-by-case basis and are asked to submit documentation that substantiates their engineering and technology experience and responsibilities.
Applicants must provide two letters of recommendation concerning their academic ability and readiness for graduate education. A minimum 3.00 GPA from an accredited U.S. institution or foreign equivalent is required. International students must submit a score of at least 550 (paper), 213 (computer), or 79 (Internet) for the TOEFL.
