The Program Experience

You need a bachelor's degree which involved the following courses:

  • Calculus I, II & III
  • Ordinary differential equations
  • One lab science in Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry or Physics

If your Bachelor's degree did not include one or more of these prerequisites, talk with our Admissions Specialist about how to take a prerequisite course.

 
Every class is designed by our 91³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty. Most classes are taught by faculty who have a PhD, or Master's degree or have achieved distinction as a manager of technological projects.
 

You will take at least two classes each semester in order to graduate in 3 years.

Most courses are 8 weeks, half of a traditional undergraduate semester. There are two sessions each semester.  

The program is designed so you can take summers off. However, you may choose to take an MBA or ORGL elective in the summer to speed up your progression.

 

The program is designed for working professionals to completed in 3 years.

You can also finish the program in three semesters if you choose to be a full-time graduate student and not work a full-time job. This will require you to take a heavy course load during each semester and/or take elective courses in the summer.

You may investigate a 3-year, 2-year, or 1.5 year progression plan on our curriculum page. Set up an appointment to talk with an Admissions Counselor about any of these options.

All students have up to six years to complete a degree.

 
All required classes are asynchronous, meaning you don’t have to log on at a certain time of day. This enables you to do your course work when it’s convenient to your schedule, following along with your course syllabus and assigned deadlines.

Our classes include reading, research, interactive discussion board posts in your online classroom, projects, possible group projects and writing papers depending on the class.

Engineering classes are 8 weeks long. Depending on the class you will likely need 10 to 15 hours a week to complete your coursework, more time may be needed if there is a large project or paper due.

One other note: you will be amazed at how quickly you will be able to schedule your life to do everything you want to accomplish.

 

Yes, the Master’s in Engineering Management is designed for working engineers. With the exception of some elective MBA or ORGL courses, your classes will be asynchronous and 16-weeks in length.

A working professional can take two 16-week engineering courses at a time.

The engineering courses are not offered in the summer, but you can choose to take an MBA or ORGL elective during that time. Those courses vary in length and delivery.
