Our curriculum is designed to provide you lessons in leadership, communication, and decision-making that you won't find in a textbook but are essential for solving real world problems. The way to become an impactful leader isn't by learning all the right answers but by learning to ask the right questions, uncover the solutions, and communicate your findings with confidence and conviction. Our MS in Engineering Management teaches you these essential skills through a curriculum modeled on the way problems get solved in the workplace: in a fast-paced, real-time, and collaborative environment. You will gain the technical skills to make data-driven decisions, the business know-how to find solutions that work in a complex organization, and the communication tools to drive the conversation and make your voice heard.
The MSEM core courses give you relevant and practical knowledge in an engaging learning environment led by our industry-expert faculty. Our half-semester courses are accelerated to match the pace of learning and decision-making in the workplace, as well as to provide you with a steady stream of new skills and ideas you can immediately to your current job or journey to your future career.
At the heart of the MSEM program are our faculty; they aren't just academics, they are seasoned professionals who bring their real-world experience into the classroom. Our faculty embody the spirit of our program with a student-first approach to teaching. They don't come to the classroom with a script for their lesson but with a curiosity to know more about you, the challenges you're facing in your career, and how they can help you succeed. With a lifetime of proven professional experience, they are the masters of "learning by doing" and eager to help you unlock your potential as a leader.
“In our rapidly evolving world, I want the students to recognize that learning how to learn new things is more important than learning specific skills in great depth.” - Gavin Finn, Professor of the Practice
Your elective courses can be selected from a suite of accelerated options, immersive experiences, and offerings that span the variety of schools and topics from across Tufts University. We encourage you to branch out and take classes out of your comfort zone, follow a passion you have recently discovered, or supplement your learning with new technical information.
I think Immersive Experiences really create a different energy around learning. The Immersive brought together people I haven't worked with in groups before and that brings a new perspective to the way you think through problems. Having those people in a room together can really create some cool ideas.
If you're seeking additional opportunities to develop on-the-job skills, expand your professional network, or explore a new industry, Tufts University offers several options to build upon your curricular studies.
