MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT VS. MBA

Studies have shown that the most successful companies are managed by people who have experience in the core business of the organization. A Master's degree in Engineering Management from Tufts Gordon Institute leverages your technical knowledge, preparing you for the managerial challenges in today's technology-driven companies.

Compared with an MBA, the benefits of a Master of Science in Engineering Management are clear.

  • A Focus on leadership
    We don't just teach students business and management skills.  We strive to develop each student's leadership potential through a proven leadership development process. 
     
  • A Curriculum tailored to your needs
    Our focused curriculum is tailored to issues facing technical leaders. Course work emphasizes product innovation and development, project management, and technology and global business strategies. Case studies and projects relate directly to technology-based organizations.
     
  • Faculty with real-world engineering leadership experience
    Our professors have excelled in industry.  They have started their own companies.  They know what it takes to succeed in the business world.
     
  • Experiential Learning
    Our program is highly interactive.  Classes involve role-playing, team exercises and videotaping.  Real-world projects challenge you to apply what you have learned in the classroom.
     
  • Classmates who are technical professionals (not accountants and bankers)
    Our students are technical professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from diverse industries to the classroom.  This shared technical background creates a unique learning environment.
     
  • No GRE or GMAT required
    We believe that your experience as a technical professional tells us more about your capabilities than does a standardized test, so we do not require the GRE or GMAT.
