Engineering Management at Duke

<p>Hi folks, I am 22 years old.</p>

<p>I have some queries pertaining to the field "Engineering Management". I had recently completed my Bachelors in Computer Science and I also have 3-4 months of work experience. I'm contemplating of applying to a Masters in Engineering Management at some schools which proffer such a degree, namely-- Duke, Syracuse, etc. I think Duke is an awesome school.</p>

<p>I personally found that Duke's Engineering Management program is probably the most reputed of all, but its also quite expensive. Now, my queries are:</p>

<p>1) Should I apply for an Engineering Management degree in the first place? (I'm an international student from India)</p>

<p>2) Secondly, Does an Engineering Management degree from Duke University guarantee a job in the U.S.? (I mean as an analyst, etc. Please keep in mind Duke University's reputation)</p>

<p>3) Thirdly, I'm thinking of working in the United States for some years before returning to India again. Now, What kind of job(s) would I get with an "Engineering Management" degree?</p>

<p>Since, an M.S. in Engineering Management is relatively new, I am inclined to seek suggestion/advice from "experienced people" who might be able to answer my queries.</p>

<p>Should I apply for a Masters in Engineering Management or should I apply for a Masters in some other field, say like CS, etc?</p>

<p>Please answer these queries of mine!</p>

<p>Thanks and Regards!</p>
