Master of Science in Engineering Management

The Master of Science in Engineering Management (MS EM) is a 30 credit-hour program (10 courses), plus a zero-credit exit paper. At least 18 credit-hours (6 courses) must be taken at the 600-level or higher. To remain in good academic standing, a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 must be maintained. A minimum GPA of 3.0 must be achieved to graduate. Full-time standing requires a minimum of 9-credit hours be taken and passed in the fall and spring semesters. All other requirements of the graduate school also apply to this program. The MS EM degree program is designed for practicing engineers and scientists who have or seek increased managerial and leadership responsibilities. The degree program provides a balanced field of knowledge in engineering management theory and practices, statistics, quality control, finance, economics, informationdata management, and legal issues. With proper selection of courses, technical competence in a particular area can be strengthened as well. Course electives can be chosen to customize your program of study to meet specific career goals.

Admission to the MS degree program is granted on the basis of undergraduate preparation and performance, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation documenting the recent technical proficiency of the applicant. A grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent), and a GRE Quantitative Reasoning score of 700 or higher (155 or higher on the new scale) are normally expected. Admission to this MS degree program requires a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Engineering, or an acceptable field of Science.
