Engineering Management Graduate Program

KU Edwards Campus

The Engineering Management M.S. program provides superior graduate education for technical managers from engineering, science, mathematics, and computer science. EMGT graduates are more effective managers in technology-based organizations and are better able to promote entrepreneurial activities for new businesses.

The EMGT program integrates management with technology by focusing on 3 dimensions:

1. Technical: an understanding of and proficiency in engineering and science.
2. Human: the ability to build a collaborative effort within a group.
3. Conceptual: the ability to apply analytical thought to the management process and to the enterprise as a total system.

The EMGT program offers these emphasis areas: consulting engineering services, manufacturing/process engineering and systems and information technology.

Courses are offered in various formats including in person in Overland Park on the KU Edwards Campus and online. In-person courses are also recorded and live-streamed. Classes are taught by Graduate Faculty members of the School of Professional Studies and members of the professional community.
