Santa Clara University Engineering Management and Leadership

The goal of the Santa Clara University Engineering Management and Leadership program is to support the development of technical project managers. To this end, we require that half of the Engineering Management degree units be devoted to a technical stem, drawn from one or more of the other engineering departments. The remaining units are in management-leadership related studies.


Admission to the Engineering Management and Leadership Program is open only to those who hold an undergraduate degree or graduate degree in engineering or computer science. The undergraduate program must be a four-year engineering program substantially equivalent to Santa Clara's. Work experience is preferred, but not required.

Requirements

At Santa Clara, 45 quarter units are required for the master's degree. For the Engineering Management and Leadership degree, 20 of these units must be in civil, electrical, computer, or mechanical engineering; or applied mathematics; or a combination of all these. A minimum of 20 units must be undertaken in the engineering management sequence. The remaining 5 units may be used for the interdisciplinary Engineering 200 series, or may be taken in either management or a technical area. Although 9 units may be transferred from the Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business and Administration or another graduate program, in no case may the minimum units taken in the Engineering and Leadership Department be fewer than 16 units. Note that the number of engineering management courses accepted for other degress in the graduate engineering program is restricted to 6 units in the Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering programs, and to 10 units in the M.S. in Engineering degree program.

The program of studies for Engineering Management and Leadership degree candidates must be submitted to the chair of the Engineering Management and Leadership Department during the first term of enrollment to ensure that all courses undertaken are applicable to the degree.

Graduate seminars in other departments - ELEN 200 or COEN 400 or MECH 297 - are not applicable to an Engineering Management and Leadership degree program.

In addition to the overall 3.0 GPA graduation requirement, Engineering Management and Leadership degree candidates must earn a 3.0 GPA in those courses applied to their technical stem and a 3.0 GPA in their engineering management course stem. All courses in which a student is enrolled at Santa Clara are included in these calculations.
