Engineering Management
The Masters in Engineering Management (MEM) is offered by the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department in cooperation with the School of Business Administration. The program has as its goal the provision of the tools and skills necessary for making sound management decisions in industry and business while retaining one’s commitment to a specialized engineering field of endeavor. The MEM program is open to any engineer .
The competitive advantage of Oakland University’s MEM is its flexible curriculum - there is no single course that is required for all students. This flexibility provides students the ability to tailor the program to enhance their individual career needs.
