The Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management (WJHSTM) in conjunction with the SEEM department offer a unique program which combines the quantitative elements of an engineering degree with the business topics typically taught in a MBA program. The program is designed so that students from various backgrounds can tailor their educational experience to meet their career objectives. As shown in the following table, programs can be designed consisting of 4, 10, or 20 classes (ranging from a Graduate Certificate to a MBA degree), depending upon the student’s backgrounds and objectives.

1 Mgt 609, Mgt 671, EM 750/Mgt 656, and EM 760/Mgt 657 are required for the Graduate Certificate in Technology Management.
Students can opt out of the program after the first four courses and obtain a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Management. If they choose to continue they will take and additional six courses towards the MEEM/MBA degrees. If they opt out of the program after 10 prescribed courses they will receive the MEEM degree. If they choose not to opt out of the program, they can apply to the WJHSTM for pursuit of an MBA with a concentration in Engineering Management. Students can apply to the WJHSTM at any point in the process for the MBA degree. However, we recommend that they apply as early as possible to better facilitate course scheduling. If the students decide not to opt out of the program after fulfilling the requirement for the MEEM they must take an additional 30 hours for the MBA in TM degree. Note that students who decide to pursue the MBA degree will not be awarded both the MEEM and MBA in TM. They will receive the Engineering and the Technology Management certificates with the MBA in Technology Management degree with an EM concentration.
All students should initially apply to the MEEM program within the SEEM department. They should then apply to the WJHSTM for the MBA in TM degree if they plan to pursue that option. Admission to the MEEM program does not guarantee acceptance to the MBA in TM program and vice versa. To gain admission to the MBA program, students must take a GMAT or GRE (see the WJHSTM section of the catalog for specific admission criteria and score standards). Current MEEM students and alumni who wish to obtain an MBA in TM must formally apply for entry to the MBA in TM program and must take a GMAT or GRE test. A minimum of two years work experience will be required of all students prior to admission to this program. Students applying for this joint program are required to have an undergraduate degree in engineering or science. |
