Master’s Degree in Management Science and Engineering
September 2009
The program of Master of Science in Management Science and Engineering (MS&E) prepares
individuals for a life-long career addressing critical technical and managerial needs in private and
public decision making. Department requirements for the M.S. degree provide breadth across some of
the areas of the department, and flexibility for meeting individual objectives of depth in a particular
area of concentration. The Master’s degree may be a terminal degree program with a professional
focus, or a preparation for a more advanced graduate program. The M.S. degree can normally be
earned in one academic year (three academic quarters) of full-time work, although students may
choose to continue their education by taking additional MS&E courses beyond that year. Students
completing 15 or more units per quarter can easily complete the degree in three quarters. Students
completing 8-10 units per quarter can complete the degree in five quarters. Background requirements,
taken in addition to degree requirements, must be met by students who have had insufficient course
work in mathematical sciences, computer science, engineering and/or natural sciences.
Description of the Master’s Program
Students in the Master of Science program in MS&E must take a minimum of 45 unduplicated course
units at Stanford as follows:
• at least five core courses (breadth)
• at least three other courses in an area of concentration of their choice (depth)
• a course in probability unless a college-level course in probability has already been passed
• a project course requirement
• the remaining units in elective courses.

USC Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEMT)
Program Description
The USC Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEMT) program is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in engineering or related sciences to prepare them for management responsibilities. As an MSEMT student, you will learn how to lead technology projects as well as manage teams, engineering functions, and companies. In addition, you will gain an understanding of the economic decision making processes. More than just theory, the MSEMT program offers real world examples provided by instructors who have years of relevant industry experience, covering topics such as technology creation, management of invention, information systems, managerial accounting, and quantitative methods. This is also a suitable program to help prospective technical entrepreneurs understand the enterprise creation process.
Distance Education Option
The USC Viterbi Distance Education Network enables students to earn their engineering Master's degree 100% online. Because the DEN program provides a fully equivalent academic experience, the degree a USC engineering student earns is the same whether they are on-campus or online. Earn the MS in Engineering Management through DEN

Engineering management professionals deal with the planning, organization, scheduling, monitoring and control of engineering projects, and can lead to any of the following careers:
Technical Marketing – interfacing between engineers who design a product and the public who will need to understand what problems it solves and how it is used.
Project Management – interfacing between the engineers who design a project and the laborers who are building it.
Industrial Systems Engineering – overseeing and initiating technical processes in manufacturing settings.
Many students opt to continue their education by pursuing graduate degrees such as a Masters in Business Administration, Masters in Engineering Management, Masters in Public Policy or masters in other engineering fields.

Why Pursue a Master's Degree in Engineering Management?
A recent study of leadership at Standard and Poors 500 companies shows that the most common educational background for corporate Chief Executive Officers is engineering. Some 22 percent of the CEOs at the nation's largest companies earned engineering degrees, with far higher percentages in fields such as the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, transportation, and electronics manufacturing. Advancement into managerial responsibilities is an increasingly common progression for engineers. A graduate program in engineering management provides a technically-educated individual with skills needed to make a successful transition into a managerial role
