Master of Science in Engineering Management
Engineering Management is an interdisciplinary program designed to meet the educational needs of present and future managers in engineering fields who seek state-of-the-art education consistent with a technologically diverse and rapidly changing work environment. By its very nature, this program requires a partnership between the fields of engineering and management. Marquette's MSEM program has been developed, sponsored, and administered by a coalition of members from the Colleges of Business Administration and Engineering.
Both colleges have long-standing and highly regarded graduate programs. The MSEM program capitalizes on their strengths by drawing on established and successful courses from each college. Beyond these established elements, the MSEM program features opportunities to integrate the disciplines of business and engineering. These integrating opportunities exist both within the curriculum and in extra-curricular activities.
The MSEM program features a strong academic and technical base. Graduates of the program will be equipped with advance skills in both technical and administrative fields, skills that are demanded by the current industrial environment.
Applicants seeking admission to the MSEM program should follow the procedures and guidelines described in the Marquette University Graduate School Bulletin. Admission decisions are based on a variety of criteria, each of which is intended to measure the applicant's ability to succeed in the program. No application can be evaluated until all of the required official documents have been received.
An applicant must have completed or be in the process of completing a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university. In addition, the applicant must submit the following items to the Marquette Graduate School:
- A completed Graduate School application and application fee
- Official transcripts from previously and currently attended colleges and universities (other than Marquette)
- Official test scores of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the GRE (Graduate Record Exam)
- Essay questions on page 2 of the application form
- Resume or job profile
- Two letters of recommendation
International applicants whose native language is not English, and who have not received a degree from an accredited academic institution in the United States, also must submit official TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores. In addition, international applicants are required to submit three letters of recommendation.
Students who do not have an adequate undergraduate background in business or engineering also may be required to complete one or more MBA Foundation Courses (ECON 6000, ACCO 6000, MANA 6000, MANA 6001, INTE 6000) or prerequisite engineering courses in preparation for the Core Courses. All students must complete a minimum of six courses (18 credit hours) in the College of Engineering.

Course Descriptions
For complete course descriptions please refer to the Marquette
University Graduate School Bulletin.
Marquette University offers scholarship opportunities for graduate students through the Graduate School. A limited number of assistantships also may be available to students pursuing the MSEM degree. Loans, part-time job opportunities, and other forms of financial aid are available through the Office of Student Financial Aid. However, no offer of financial aid can be made until a student has been admitted to Marquette on a regular, degree-seeking basis.
For details about financial aid programs please consult the Graduate School Bulletin or visit the Office of Student Financial Aid.
The MSEM program
is designed primarily for working managers and those who
aspire to such positions. It is designed to meet the educational
and logistical needs of working adults who already have
bachelor's degrees in one of the engineering disciplines
or a closely related field and which to earn the MSEM degree
without interrupting their current careers. All classes
meet in the late afternoon or early evening. Advising, registration,
and other student services have been developed to meet the
specific needs of working adults.
Full-Time & Part-Time Students
Full-time students are encouraged to apply and can complete the program in one to two years, depending on their backgrounds. Completion time for part-time students will vary with their schedules, but completion normally can be accomplished in three to five years.
Applications are evaluated as soon as the candidate's admission file is complete. Applicants are informed of the Admission Committee's decision shortly thereafter. Those admitted to the program may begin their studies at the start of any semester during the year.
Fall Semester (End of August)
Spring Semester (Mid-January)
Summer Session (Mid-May)
Applicants are encouraged to apply well in advance of their intended matriculation. Applications received less than 6 weeks before the start of a semester might not be reviewed in time for enrollment that semester.
