What’s Your System?

Increasingly, business requires engineers to also be good managers and leaders. Likewise, business managers need a better understanding of technology and how to run large, multifaceted engineering projects.

The professional master’s degree is designed for the working professional with at least three years of professional experience. Students can be either full time or part-time, with classes held on Saturdays, with occasional classes offered on weekday evenings. Typical students have a bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, math, physics, chemistry, economics, or finance.

Flexible Schedule

The courses are offered in four-hour sessions held occasionally one evening during the week, but most often on Saturdays. Students attend 10 sessions to complete each course.

An Array of Courses

The variety of classes range from systems architecture and design to business finance and strategic leadership. The curriculum will provide you with the knowledge and skills to design, develop, and manage complex projects requiring wide-ranging scientific and business competencies.

World-Class Faculty

You will learn from distinguished teachers in the Naveen Jindal School of Management and the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, in addition to educators from other UT Dallas schools and industry leaders from corporate partners such as Texas Instruments, Raytheon, HP, Collins Aerospace, and Ericsson.

Professional Peers

You will take classes with a cohort of local professionals working with major corporations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who typically have at least three years of professional work experience and backgrounds in engineering or the physical sciences.

Graduate Certificate Option

A graduate certificate in Systems Engineering or Systems Management is also offered for those seeking advanced training. Each graduate certificate requires only 12 credit hours and is offered in a four-hour professional education format. Students will earn academic credit for these self-supporting MS-SEM and SEM graduate certificate programs, although they are tailored for working professionals.
