Additional Information


  • The Engineering Management graduate program operates in the Professional Master’s Program category at Purdue University. This on-campus program emphasizes preparation for an industry career as a technical leader, and thus is a non-research, non-thesis program. Engineering Management is designed for early-career engineers and students joining directly from a bachelor program. The curriculum includes both technical and managerial courses, along with the unique opportunity to complete a paid internship/co-op at the graduate level.
