The core of the Masters of Engineering Management program consists of four engineering management courses developed in conjunction with the Duke School of Law and the Fuqua School of Business. A required internship accompanied by a written project summary and oral presentation insures students have work experience while four graduate level technical courses of the student’s choosing serve to extend the student's science and engineering background.

To receive a Master's degree in Engineering Management, the student must complete:

• Four core management courses
• Four technical elective courses
• Summer internship, written project summary, oral presentation
• MEM Seminar Series
• MEM Workshops

Non-engineering courses may also be taken if they are part of an approved, " technical concentration" for the program.

Students may also opt to attend one semester at Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering in Hanover, New Hampshire. Dartmouth's MEM program utilizes the resources of the Tuck Business School for its business focus and allows students to take courses that parallel Duke's program.

Advanced Pratt undergraduates may apply for early admission to the MEM program and thereby take MEM courses prior to receiving their undergraduate degree. This requires special approval by the MEM Program Director. Generally students will not be allowed to take more than 4 MEM courses prior to receiving their undergraduate degree and must be in their senior year to participate in this program. Separate tuition will be charged for the MEM courses.

Duke graduate and professional students who are not enrolled in the MEM Program may register for some MEM courses.

Duke's official schedule of courses to be offered in summer, fall and spring terms is available online. A list of all Engineering Management courses can be found here.
