Master of Science in
Engineering Management
The Marquette University Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSENMA) Program—offered jointly by the
College of Engineering and the College of Business Administration—responds to the world’s growing need for
technologists who can lead in the conceptualization, development, and globalization of the next generation of
commercially viable products and processes.
The MSENMA graduate acquires knowledge, skills, and direct hands-on experience in:
• generating and evaluating innovative technical solutions to existing and emerging market needs;
• transferring these technical solutions into entrepreneurial products and services; and
• developing and nurturing global supplier and customer bases to apply these technical solutions worldwide.
Any organization charged with developing and/or utilizing technology-based technical solutions will be able to
immediately integrate the MSENMA graduate into its operations to increase the speed and impact of product/process
research, development, and commercialization.
In short, the goal of this program is to prepare Chief
Technology Officers of the future. Graduate students and working
professionals who complete this Master of Science degree will
leave with an enhanced ability to generate immediate and
sustainable, technology-based, competitive advantage.
