Join the next generation of engineering and technology leaders to gain the insight and knowledge necessary to succeed in today’s multifunctional, multidisciplinary, high-tech business environments.
This Master of Science in Engineering Management brings Clarkson University’s academic excellence — top rated by U.S. News & World Report — to the Hudson Valley, serving professionals from around the nation. The program has been developed in partnership with industry leaders such as IBM, Turner Construction and The National Society of Professional Engineers to meet the growing demand for sophisticated business and organizational skill set development for engineers and technical employees.

You’ll also connect in-person with Clarkson’s Business and Engineering Management faculty, well-placed industry experts and your professional classmate peers at Beacon Institute’s campus in the Hudson Valley.
