Engineering Management Program
The Engineering Management master degree program offers face-to-face, 100% online, or combined to fit your demanding schedule. We also offer a joint certificate program on Project Management and Six Sigma by completing 12 credits of courses specified.
 
Program Overview
 
The graduate plan in Engineering Management (EMGT) leads to the master of science (MS) degree. The Engineering Management plan offers the candidate the opportunity to earn an advanced degree in two years while maintaining full-time employment. The broad EMGT curriculum was designed to prepare students with technical backgrounds to become industry leaders. To achieve this objective, the material is targeted to equip the candidate with the knowledge and skills to better manage projects, processes, personnel, products and services by integrating interdisciplinary courses from the School of Business and the School of Science and Computer Engineering. The individuals with engineering and scientific backgrounds will find that this master of science degree may better suit their needs than the traditional MBA.
 
The Engineering Management (EMGT) curriculum is composed of 33 hours of graduate course work of which 21 hours will be core requirements and 12 hours will be electives with capstone or thesis option. The 12 hours may be either nine hours of elective courses with the Capstone Project (three hours) or six hours of elective courses with Thesis (six hours). The program may be completed either online or face-to-face. The Web site for the Engineering Management program is http://www.uhcl.edu/EngineeringManagement.
