Duke offers the Master of Engineering Management online for working professionals—it features three week-long residencies on our campus over two years of study.

Our online Engineering Management students take the same core curriculum and work with the same faculty as our on-campus students: marketing, finance, intellectual property and business law, and management. In addition, they focus on building expertise in commercialization, finance, or operations management, with additional technical electives to further their technical knowledge.

Duke's innovative learning method integrates the flexibility of online classes with cohort-centric residencies that promote skill and knowledge development through activities, seminars, and workshops.

Students are responsible for finding and coordinating their internship, but program staff can post internship notices to students through their dedicated communication channels.

A typical internship is eight to 12 weeks, with eight weeks being the minimum acceptable length of time, and should involve a well-defined project.
