Admission Requirements
Applicants who are interested in taking graduate-level courses, but not necessarily interested in pursuing a full master’s degree are eligible for the Graduate Certificate in Engineering Management. Applicants are required to meet the same admission requirements as the master’s degree. The applicant’s prior education must include a degree in a science or an engineering field. In addition, a minimum of two years of relevant full-time work experience in the field following the award of an undergraduate degree is required (note that internship and/or co-op periods do not satisfy this requirement), and a detailed work résumé and transcripts from all college studies must be submitted. Admitted students have typically earned a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (B or above) in the latter half of their undergraduate studies. Significant relevant work experience or a graduate degree in a relevant technical discipline may be considered in lieu of meeting the GPA requirement. If the student should decide to pursue the full master’s degree, all courses completed in pursuit of the Graduate Certificate will apply to the master’s degree provided they meet program requirements and fall within a five-year time limit.
Program Requirements
Five courses must be completed within five years. The curriculum consists of the same core courses for the Master of Engineering Management degree.
