Master of Engineering Management
The Master of Engineering Management is a non-thesis degree program with all required courses offered after 4 p.m. Course work is designed to build onto the education received while completing an accredited bachelor's degree in engineering and the individual's professional experience. Hence, practicing engineers generally will not require undergraduate prerequisites.
A total of 36 credit hours are required at the graduate level. Included among these 36 credit hours are 15 hours of core courses required of all M.E.M. students. Course work in addition to the required core courses is tailored specifically to the needs of the student, but generally has approximately one-third of the courses in the general area of technical management, one-third in Business Administration, and one-third in the student's technical discipline such as Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
Admission Requirements
Admission standards are designed to ensure that all enrolled students are qualified professionals serving in a leadership role in their engineering discipline. The four primary requirements are as follows:
1. B.S. in Engineering or Equivalent.
2. Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Scores (Verbal + Quantitative) = 1000 or more.
3. Two-to-five years of engineering experience in a leadership role.
4. Letter of recommendation for the program from someone in direct supervision over the applicant in his/her primary employment.
Degree Requirements
1. All of the College of Graduate Studies general degree requirements.
2. Completion of a core program of 15 semester hours of specified courses.
3. Completion of a minimum of at least 36 semester hours from an approved list of courses.
