The online program—ranked No. 29 last year, and No. 49 in 2022—has risen significantly in the annual ranking, which showcases the extraordinary value of the program’s educational offerings.

“We are deeply honored by the national recognition of our engineering management program as one of the nation’s best. The program’s remarkable ascent, now into the top 20, is a testament to both the dedication and ingenuity of our exceptional faculty and staff and the commitment of our outstanding students,” says Kemper E.

Led by Cecilia Martinez Leon, associate professor of teaching in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, the program is designed for engineers who want to build upon their skill set to more effectively take leadership roles in their organizations and industries.

To rank the master’s in engineering programs, U.S. News considered five categories: engagement, faculty credentials and training, peer assessment, services and technologies, and student excellence.

The Engineering Management program is extremely flexible, allowing students to complete courses full- or part-time, as well as tailor electives and projects to align with their interests.
