The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) Program is an evening graduate program designed to accommodate working engineering professionals who are seeking to advance to positions of greater managerial and technical responsibility. The MEM Program is based on an integrated approach to the management of product, process, information and telecommunications technology, while providing the opportunity to develop greater expertise in any one of these areas.
The mix of management concepts and technical focus presented in the MEM Program prepares working professionals to thrive in the increasingly complex managerial environment of today's technology-based organizations. Unlike a graduate degree in a science or engineering specialty, the MEM degree offers the practical business perspective needed by technical managers. Unlike a traditional MBA program, the MEM Program emphasizes skills specifically required in technology-based organizations. To achieve this balance, the MEM curriculum blends business basics, quantitative methods, and behavioral science in a practical, problem-solving framework. Students learn management concepts, language, methodology, and skills but always in an engineering context.

The innovative curriculum of the Master of Manufacturing and Management (MMM) dual degree program — MBA and MEM — provides students with the fundamentals of manufacturing and business management. With their strategic, cross-functional perspective, MMM graduates take on leadership roles in a wide array of functions, industries and companies.
The MMM program offers the convenience of a joint program with one set of curricular requirements, leading to both a Master of Business Administration degree from the Kellogg School of Management and a Master of Engineering Management degree from the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science in just two years. A flexible curriculum allows students to take a wide array of courses in areas most suited to their career goals, including operations, finance and entrepreneurship. A hands-on, team-based approach to learning draws on students' diverse professional and personal backgrounds, as well as the program's strong industry ties, to apply theory to real-world challenges.
Applicants to the MMM program should have a technical/engineering degree and/or significant experience working in a manufacturing environment. Because the study of certain quantitative classes such as finance, accounting and decision sciences is accelerated, applicants must also demonstrate superior quantitative abilities.
