Engineering Management

Program Requirements

EMGT classes may be taken for undergraduate credit (enrollment form and class prerequisites required), for graduate credit (non-degree seeking or as an elective for another graduate program), or as degree-seeking.

The Master of Science (degree-seeking) program in Engineering Management requires the completion of 33 credit hours.

Courses are divided into three categories: Core Courses (18 hours), Elective Courses (12 hours), Field Project (3 hours).

The elective course work allows students to concentrate one of three areas (Consulting Engineering Services, Manufacturing/Process Industry, Systems and Information Technology) which mirror the principal professional areas from which EMGT students come.

Engineering Management is flexible with respect to students’ choice of electives and encourages students to select courses that meet one of our emphasis areas or technical courses from Business Administration, Public Administration, Engineering or Computer Science programs. All such elective courses must be listed as graduate courses, taken for graduate credit, and approved by an EMGT faculty member in order to apply toward the Master of Science in Engineering Management degree.

Admission Requirements

To enter KU's Master of Science in Engineering Management program, applicants must have:

1. Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree in engineering or related science from an accredited institution.
   Technology degrees are considered only with a very high (e.g. 3.8) GPA and substantial experience (8-10 years).
2. A 3.0 or higher grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). Admission may be granted on a probationary basis if your GPA is between 2.50 and 2.99.
3. Two year's full-time, post-undergraduate work experience in a technological environment.
4. International students must also meet the English, visa/I20, and financial support requirements described in the "How to Apply" section.

Engineering Management (EMGT) does not require the GRE or GMAT.

Non-Degree

Students can enroll in EMGT classes as non-degree seeking without being (or before being) admitted to the program as degree seeking. Non-degree seeking students only need to fill out the non-degree seeking application, submit the application fee and submit their official transcript(s). Students can take up to 6 hours as non-degree seeking without being officially admitted.
