In the Johns Hopkins MSEM program, students complete coursework in two tracks:
- A technical track of the student’s choice delivered by departments throughout the Whiting School of Engineering
- A project- and problem-based management track delivered by the Center for Leadership Education
Through Johns Hopkins MSEM coursework, our students consult for startups, discover problems worth solving, work in multidisciplinary teams, design prototypes and business plans, and collaborate with our industry partners on real-world projects.
In MSEM’s technical tracks, students take engineering courses directly from the academic department that sponsors the track, which means 1) the tracks are academically rigorous and 2) MSEM students work alongside other students pursuing graduate degrees in engineering.
Johns Hopkins MSEM program provides our students with the skills they need to enter their desired field, to become an entrepreneur, and to successfully pursue some of the most in-demand roles in technical industries, including product manager, consultant, senior engineer, and more.
