Master of Science in the Field of Engineering Management (Online)

The online master of science in engineering management is designed to provide students with an interdisciplinary understanding of leadership skills—specifically, the skills needed to become effective managers in technology-driven organizations and government entities. Throughout the program, students acquire knowledge of technical engineering principles and engineering contracts within a management context.

Program graduates are equipped with the skills to effectively lead diverse engineering teams, oversee complex projects, implement innovative strategies, and drive organizational success. They also are prepared to take the Project Management Professional Examination (offered by the Project Management Institute) to receive the PMP certification.

The online program’s structure offers synchronous and asynchronous learning options, giving students the flexibility to study at their convenience and from any location. 

This is a STEM designated program.
