Program Structure

The residential MSEM program is typically a 3-semester program. Students in the program are required to complete: 

• A declared technical track of five advanced courses (minimum fifteen credits) in engineering or applied science (please see a list of available options here). Up to two Engineering for Professionals courses may be applied to a student’s technical track at the adviser’s discretion. 

• A project-based management track offered by the Center for Leadership Education and tailored to the needs of future engineering managers. To facilitate this program, all MSEM students will take required management courses together as a cohort. All management cohorts begin during the fall semester.  
• The MS in Engineering Management degree program is specifically designed for individuals preparing for a career in industry. As such, all MSEM students have the curricular option to complete the 3-credit, graded  MSEM Internship and Assessment Course (EN.662.802 (01) in conjunction with an external internship to satisfy one of the MSEM degree elective requirements. Visit our Full-Time Internship Option page for more information.
• Non-domestic students must comply with in-person instruction guidance as part of their visa requirements, whether they are enrolled as full-time or part-time students. Questions about the current guidance for in-person credit requirements should be directed to the Office of International Services (https://ois.jhu.edu/).
