ONLINE GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT

For those who are interested in a leadership role within a technology-based organization, but not pursuing a full master’s degree, the online Graduate Certificate in Engineering Management is a perfect fit.

As a student of the program, you'll examine financial modeling and project management as they apply to industries driven by engineering. You'll also gain technical experience in working with the latest software and technical tools used by companies around the globe to lead advanced, real-world projects.

If you decide to continue on to your master’s degree after earning your certificate, you can share a portion of the course credits. Conversely, if you are interested in earning a master’s degree and graduate certificate concurrently, you can stack the programs and share the required certificate credits.
