Missouri University of Science and Technology EMSE Programs

It's limited for now to US Defense Department employees, but this is a defined online program for MS and PhD which goes beyond the usual "certificate" pablum:

This will give this school experience with distance programs. Maybe they have resources of a broader nature.

M.S. Degree in Engineering Management

Engineering Management is the art and science of planning, organizing, allocating resources, and directing and controlling activities. The field of engineering management has become recognized as a professional discipline with a critical role in industry, business, and modern society. The M.S. degree in Engineering Management requires 30 credit hours of approved course work. The student gets the same opportunities as on-campus students but with the convenience of the instruction coming to you. The M.S. degree offers excellent preparation for the engineer or technical professional desiring to make the transition to technical manager. AT&L students may transfer approved DAU credit hours (see Missouri S&T Credit Hours for DAU Courses) to Missouri S&T to meet nine of the thirty credits required for the M.S. Engineering Management degree.

All M.S. Engineering Management students take the following four core courses:

EMGT 314 – Management for Engineers & Scientists
EMGT 361 - Project Management
EMGT 352 – Activity Based Accounting & Financial Decision Making
EMGT 365 – Operations Management Science

The remaining six courses are taken from a specialty area which includes the following:

Management of Technology
Financial Engineering
Project Management
Quality

Ph.D. in Engineering Management

A candidate for the Ph.D. in Engineering Management must complete the equivalent of at least three years of full time work beyond the bachelor’s degree. The content of all Ph.D. programs is individually structured by the student in consultation with and approved by the student’s advisory committee. All requirements for the degree must normally be completed within an eight-year period. Ph.D. students must conduct original research under the supervision of a doctoral advisor and successfully defend the dissertation. Special arrangements are made for off-campus students to meet on-campus residences requirements and complete the original research.

Fees

The Defense Acquisition University Program with the Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Department at Missouri S&T provides for reduced fees for the course taken by AT&L personnel. The current fee schedule is $755 per credit hour. This is a substantial discount to the normal non-resident fee for distance students.

Admissions

Admission application and acceptance rules for distance students are the same as those of traditional on-campus students with only slight variations in required forms. Students complete the appropriate forms according to their program choice and submit to Distance and Continuing Education (DCE) along with payment information for the application fee ($50).

Graduate Application

Students may apply for admission to individual courses, certificate programs, or graduate degree programs.
