What are the total requirements for the MS EM?
- 12* core courses (11 if you have sufficient background knowledge in statistics: See EGMT 571 info)
- 5 elective courses
After the GCP, your courses count toward the MS EM as follows:
EGMT 504 - Core course (1 of 12*)
FIN 601 - Elective course (3 of 5)
POM 601 - Elective course
POM 624 - Elective course
**If you began the GCP before Fall 2007 and you have taken EGMT 531 or EGMT 501, both courses count as core courses toward the MS EM. If you took STAT 634 or POM 625, these courses count as electives toward the MS EM.**
How long does it take to get the MS EM?
It all depends...
- At a rate of 1 course per term, it takes 4 years of study
- At a rate of 2 courses per term, it takes 2 years of study
- The fastest time to complete the MS degree in Engineering Management is 18 months
- Students are allowed 7 years to complete the program
What are the Admissions Requirements for the MS EM?
- Bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 in a technical or science-related field, Essay
- The essay requirement will be waived for OLDP students
- Form to be filled out and submitted via fax (215-895-5811) after completion of 12 credits (4 GCP courses) Matriculation Request form for non-matriculated student
- No GMAT required, no GRE unless you plan on pursuing your education on a full-time basis (12 credits or more)
***After receiving approval for matriculation, please note that GCP tuition deferral instructions and applications no longer apply. Whereas you once needed to submit the LMCO-Drexel OLDP form to the Bursar's Office ONCE at the start of the GCP, you will now need to submit this form on a term-by-term basis as you proceed.***

What if I have a non-calculus based, non-technical undergraduate degree (Example: Business) and I am still interested in pursuing the Master's in Engineering Management (MS EM), rather than the MBA; what should I do to bridge the gap?:
When the OLDP GCP began, we informed participants that the credits earned through the program would be applicable to either our MS EM or the Drexel University MBA Anywhere program. This is dependent on each individual student's background. Those with a sufficient engineering background would matriculate into the MS EM while those with a Business or other background would be better fit for the MBA.
For those students wishing to matriculate from a business background to Engineering Management, we will require a series of courses to "bridge the gap". The MBA program does not currently require a similar bridge for engineering students wishing to matriculate to the MBA. The following courses are the recommended "bridge" for business to Engineering Management Students (Please note: we are in the process of evaluating a better course sequence to address this issue, so please contact the department for the most current information before enrolling in any of the below):
| Course |
Title |
Description |
| STAT 205 |
Statistics Inference I |
Covers descriptive statistics, elementary probability theory, discrete and continuous random variables and probability distributions, joint distribution functions, expected values, statistical measures, sampling distributions, and point and interval estimation. Design of Experiments. |
| TDEC 211 |
Materials I |
Introduces materials, processing microstructures and properties, atomic view and architecture of solids, atomic motion of solids, equilibrium and non-equilibrium, degradation, and magnetic and electrical behavior of materials. |
| MEM 202 |
Engineering Mechanics: Statics |
Covers intermediate static mechanics. Includes topics such as problem formulation and solution methods; two- and three-dimensional vector representation of forces, moments and couples; static equilibrium of particles, rigid bodies, and engineering structures; analysis of external and internal forces in structures via methods of free body diagrams; and properties of cross-sectional areas. |
| ECE 211 |
Electrical Engineering Principles |
Covers basic techniques of electric circuit analysis, electronic devices, amplifiers, operational amplifier, and fundamentals of instrumentation. |
| ECE 212 |
Electrical Engineering Principles Lab |
Includes experiments involving concepts discussed in ECE 211. |
These courses are required to bridge the gap from a non-calculus based degree to pursue the MS EM. We unfortunately do not offer these courses online, so students will be required to take them face-to-face. They do not need to be taken at Drexel, but EGMT will need to evaluate nominated courses for transfer/ability to waive them here.
If students decide to take these at Drexel, the students will not need to apply to the undergraduate program since they are already part of the OLDP. We are in the process of working to offer these courses online. Again, please maintain contact with the department for updates.
Interested in mastering in a technical degree or dual degree?
- Please contact the EGMT department and we will coordinate with your preferred major to accommodate your preparation needs.
