<p>im doing industrial engineering and management right now. can i get a degree for masters in engineering management by choosing computer science or IT as the core subject??</p>
<p>Hmmm…from my understanding, most M.S./M.Eng in Engineering Management programs are structured (30, 33 or 36 credits) like:</p>
<p>Probability & Statistics
Operations Research/Optimization
Project or Engineering Management I
Project or Engineering Management II
Quality Engineering/Management course (like Six-Sigma, DOE, Quality Control, etc)
Engineering Economy/Cost Estimation type of course
and 4+ technical electives</p>
<p>Your 4+ technical electives could be in graduate computer science, information systems or software engineering courses.</p>
<p>ok thank you so much!
i just had another question… so for those 4+ electives if i wanted to take computer science would i need to do any pre-requisites for that or will be allowed to just directly take it??</p>
<p>

<p>More than likely, the graduate computer science courses will require prerequisites. Usually, the grad students who have little undergrad CS coursework opt to take “Information Systems” as the computer-centric emphasis. Most graduate schools have some “IS-500 or IS-600” course that has very few prerequisites and gives a good foundation of information systems.</p>
<p>You won’t be able to take a graduate course in say “operating systems” successfully without taking the undergraduate version of the course first.</p>
<p>ok so by taking “Information Systems” will my job prospects in California be good??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Now THAT…I cannot answer because I do not know what is “hot” in California. If I were to take an educated guess, with places like Silicon Valley and the number of high-quality CS programs in California, I would say that more hardcore CS is probably more prevalent than Information Systems.</p>
<p>…but I am merely guessing</p>
<p>ok thanks a lot for your help :)</p>
