An engineering management master's degree that combines your engineering knowledge with business insights to successfully manage an engineering or technology focused company.
Program skills
Engineering management is concerned with understanding the technology involved in an engineering project and the management process through which the technology is applied. This combination deals with the dual role of the engineering manager, both as a technologist and a manager. The objective is to provide a background in areas commonly needed in this role, such as organizational behavior, finance, and accounting, in addition to industrial engineering expertise. Students develop a program of study in conjunction with their advisor, which contains courses from Saunders College of Business to complement engineering course work.

Cooperative Education
What’s different about RIT’s engineering education? It’s the opportunity to complete engineering co-ops and internships with top companies in every single industry. You’ll earn more than a master’s degree. You’ll gain real-world career experience that sets you apart.
Cooperative education, or co-op for short, is full-time, paid work experience in your engineering field of study. And it sets RIT engineering graduates apart from their competitors. RIT co-op is designed for your success.
Cooperative education is optional but strongly encouraged for graduate students in the engineering management master's program.
