Engineering Management
CURRICULUM The student will be assigned an initial advisor through the academic approval sequence. The advisor and the student will select appropriate courses for the objectives of the student and obtain approval of this curriculum through the academic approval sequence. The candidate must have a 3.0 GPA to continue for the degree. A total of 36 credits will be required: Students will be required to take four core courses (12 credits) from business, four core courses (12 credits) from engineering, and four courses (12 credits) of electives that will include a maximum of two courses (6 credits) from Business. Students are expected to be able to waive Statistical Analysis, GMBA 525. If not, this course would be an additional requirement. Required Courses – Business: Select 4 courses (12 credits) only from the list below NOTE: prerequisites may apply to some courses GMBA 501 GMBA 531 GMBA 561 GMBA 571 GMBA 631 GMBA 601 GMBA 641 GMBA 651 GMBA 661
