The Engineering Management
department at Rose-Hulman
Institute of Technology
offers a Master of Science in
Engineering Management degree
which provides a convenient fast
track to the integration of
management skills and critical
technical knowledge
for technology business leaders.
The program is designed to
meet the demands and constraints
of both the working professional
looking for part-time study and
those who can spare one year for
full-time study. The program
offers a classroom-based
approach that encourages
networking with other technical
professionals pursuing the
degree.
The program allows you to:
The program has four
components (technical electives,
management electives, an
integrated project, and three
one day seminars) as indicated
by the list of required credit
hours listed below. The
technical and management courses
are offered as evening classes
in Indianapolis, Bloomington, the Crane
Naval Surface Warfare Center,
and on the RHIT campus in Terre
Haute.
It is expected that students
applying to the program have a
technical degree and
professional workplace
experience. They are expected to
be proficient in microcomputer
business applications (word
processing, spreadsheet),
applied statistics (one
undergraduate course
equivalent), and written
communication (as evidenced by
written material submitted in
support of admission materials).
Individuals who, in the opinion
of the admissions committee, do
not meet these proficiencies,
may be asked to take remedial
coursework before beginning the
program.
