About the Program
The College of Engineering, which hosts the program, and the Fox School of Business and Management established this interdisciplinary Master of Science in Engineering Management. The degree program is designed as a career development option for students pursuing careers in technology-based ventures who desire to learn specific management techniques associated with the management of technology development and technology-based projects, either for customers or associated with the introduction of new technologies into existing organizations.
Students who complete the M.S. in Engineering Management degree learn many of the skills and approaches necessary to increase the productivity and innovative capacity of technology-driven organizations. They are exposed to aspects of management education, such as project management, IP strategy, and quality management, to which they may not have previously been exposed.
Time Limit for Degree Completion: 5 years
Campus Location:

Many courses are offered on Main Campus and include online components. Eventually, students will be able to complete the program entirely online. This, however, is not an option in 2014 and 2015. The online program requires some in-person classroom participation.
Full-Time/Part-Time Status:
Students can complete the degree program on a full-time basis over one year or a part-time basis (8 credit hours or less per semester) over two years. Part-time students may extend the completion deadline to 3 years, based on circumstances.
