Engineering Management Program

Engineering Management (MEM) Program Options

There are two equally engaging and robust ways to earn your MEM degree.

MEM On-Campus (Ithaca) Program

You’ll learn to identify problems, analyze data, and interpret results for managerial action. Based in Ithaca, NY, this program combines engineering courses with business and labor relations courses from Cornell’s Johnson College of Business and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
MEM Distance Learning Program

Advance your career without pausing it. Designed for ambitious working professionals, our online, asynchronous Engineering Management M.Eng. program lets you build leadership skills while working full-time. Plus, immerse yourself in hands-on learning during a one-week intensive session on campus in Ithaca, NY each year.

Continuous learning in the face of evolving challenges

I’ve gained insights into motivating and leading teams, as well as making strategic decisions that impact both the technical and business aspects of a project.
Distance learning offers flexibility while working full-time

I schedule classwork during the evenings, use Saturday as my backup day if necessary, and do no work on Sunday. I’ve also taken time off from the program – life, work, and school converged so much so that I took one semester off.
Mastering management through distance learning

Most classes are asynchronous. The flexibility and autonomy are very important for me as a working professional with family commitments.
