Engineering Management
The Master of Science in Engineering Management offers graduate students an opportunity to develop the technical expertise and the business competence that is in high demand for management positions in technology-based industry.
Part-Time
Our Master of Science in Engineering Management is an interdisciplinary program that bridges the gaps between the fields of engineering, technology, and business. Combining core courses in engineering and finance with electives throughout the College of Engineering, the program provides a solid balance of fundamental engineering principles, management and leadership techniques, and the art and science of business within the engineering industry. Students gain the theoretical, quantitative, and analytical skills and tools they will need to contribute to interdisciplinary teams or to take a leadership position in engineering management and address complex business challenges with innovative, practical, and effective solutions.
This degree program is designed primarily for engineers with a technical business focus who are interested in managing technology-based programs. Students from other backgrounds are accepted on a case-by-case basis. All students are prepared for various potential careers in the engineering management field, including project management, product development and management, supply chain management, and technical organizations.

Northeastern combines rigorous academics with experiential learning and research to prepare students for real-world engineering challenges. The cooperative education program, also known as co-op, is one of the largest and most innovative in the world, and Northeastern is one of only a few that offers a co-op program for graduate students. Through this program, students gain professional industry experience in their field of interest as part of the academic curriculum while employed from four to eight months in a wide variety of organizations, from large companies to entrepreneurial startups.
In 2019, the Graduate School of Engineering placed nearly 1000 students in co-op positions. We have a team that prepares students for the cooperative education experience through resumé building, developing interview skills, and guiding professional development.
