"THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE WAS DOING THE ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT MASTER'S...IT OPENED SO MANY DOORS."

About the Two Degrees

Master of Civil Engineering Specialization in Structures

Engineers with a master’s degree earn higher starting salaries and have more opportunities in Structural Engineering.  The extra training om the Master of Civil Engineering program lets you work on more challenging projects, which accelerates your opportunities to be a project manager. Plus, your time as a graduate student counts toward your Professional Engineer license. 

Master of Engineering Management

A Master of Engineering Management (MEM) degree offers the management focus of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with an added technical focus. The objective of the MEM program is to prepare graduates for early career advancement in the field of engineering by building upon your undergraduate training with advanced coursework and concentrated study of problems and topics relevant to the field. In the Rose Squared program, you are given a fast track to the integration of management skills and critical technical knowledge with foundational skills in your academic major, increasing the breadth of professional employment opportunities upon graduation.

What Does the Future Look Like?

There are many structural engineering opportunities available with only a bachelor’s degree. However, the high-profile and challenging projects — high-rise buildings, cable-stayed bridges, sports arenas — are typically designed by engineers with a master’s degree.

Graduates with a MEM degree often take on expanded roles in their STEM fields, which guide both the engineering and operational processes within their organizations. Rose alumni have also taken their engineering and expanded educational experiences into non-traditional engineering fields ranging from human resources to marketing, sales to the supply chain.
