Core offering

Duke's Master of Engineering Management is a graduate degree program that combines advanced technical electives with business and management coursework to develop engineering leaders. It is offered in two formats: a 1-year on-campus program at Duke's Durham, NC campus and a 2-year online program that includes three weeklong on-campus residencies. The curriculum includes four technical electives, six specialized elective tracks, and an internship or applied project component.

Product overview

Duke's Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is a single unified graduate degree program that combines advanced engineering and technical skills with business training to develop leaders. The program is offered in two formats: a 1-year on-campus option and a 2-year online option, both leading to the same Duke degree. The MEM core is supplemented by four technical electives and six specialized elective tracks (Customer Experience and Product Design, Data Analytics and Machine Learning/AI, Operations and Supply Chain Management, Product Management, Technology Development, and Commercialization and Entrepreneurship). Supporting offerings include the Business Foundations Certificate (a 100% online four-course certificate for working professionals) and the Certificate for Defense Innovation. The program also incorporates an internship, co-op, or consulting practicum for experiential learning.
