We welcome applications from those with a bachelor’s degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program, though applicants with bachelor’s degrees in physical sciences, computer science or mathematics will also be considered.

If an applicant's undergraduate record is strong but includes specific course deficiencies, the academic department will outline the necessary steps to address these gaps. Adequate preparation in linear and matrix algebra, calculus, probability theory and/or statistics is of particular importance for the engineering management program.

For students pursuing the master's in engineering management as a second graduate degree, graduate courses in engineering, physical sciences, computer science or mathematics may be considered for transfer credit toward the engineering management degree.
