To be admitted to the ME-EM as a degree-seeking student, you must enroll in and complete your pathway with a 3.0 GPA or better. Your pathway is a series of 3 one-credit courses with a focus on either finance or project management – you choose the pathway that is right for you. The courses in your pathway are part of the required curriculum, so you make direct progress toward your degree as you complete your pathway.
With 6 start dates per year, you can begin pursuing the Master of Engineering in Engineering Management whenever you are ready. Courses are 8 weeks long and self-paced, but all for-credit coursework must be submitted by the last day of the 8-week session. See the session calendar for exact dates.
