The MEM Program maintains a list of approved courses outside of the Pratt School of Engineering, and most of theses courses are listed as part of a technical concentration. If a student would like to take a course outside of the Pratt School of Engineering that is not on the approved courses list, they may submit a request to the program administrator at memp@pratt.duke.edu with the following information.

•    What is the title and number of the desired course?

•    What is the content of the desired course?

•    Why is this course good for the student’s career in Engineering Management?

•    Any other reasons why the student feels this course should be used as a substitute for an engineering course.

If this course is approved and is at N.C. State University or the
University of North Carolina, the student will need to complete an Inter-Institutional form obtained from the MEM program office.

The MEM Program has developed many technical concentrations that allow students to focus on a technical field or industry segment, but we do not require these. Students are free to tailor their technical electives to their interests.
