Master of Science in
Engineering Management

Program Overview

Studies have found that most successful companies are managed by people with experience in the core business of the company. In the case of technology-based companies, this means engineers or other technically oriented individuals. Too often, the lack of a solid background in management has prevented engineers from rising to decision-making positions.

MSOE’s Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) graduate program is based on the philosophy that, for American companies to grow and compete internationally, their technical personnel must have the tools to effectively manage and participate in the decision-making process. The engineering management program is best described as a master’s degree in general management with a technological orientation.

The MSEM has a number of distinct advantages for you if you are technically oriented:
  1. The MSEM is designed to complement your undergraduate technical degree.
  2. The MSEM is a technology-oriented program, meeting the specific needs of engineers and other technical and business professionals progressing into management.
  3. Most faculty members in the MSEM program have one of their degrees in engineering, mathematics or science, in addition to an advanced degree in management. Their academic background is enhanced by business and industrial experience.
Teamboard Most classes meet one evening per week. Select courses also are available via the Internet.
