<p>Hello everyone I'm an international student from Venezuela, I have a major in Civil Engineer (top of my class) in a respected school in my country and I have 2 years of experience in a construction company.</p>
<p>I was thinking on going to gradschool in the US and I was looking for a program that integrates Engineering with Management, Finance and Bussines Administration. Something like and MBA in Civil Engineer or Construction.</p>
<p>So far this is what I've found:
- UC Berkeley: MEng in Engineering and Project Management (CEE Department)
- USC: MCM Master in Construction Management and MSCE Master in Engineer Management.
- DUKE, NORTHWESTERN, DARTHMOUTH, CORNEL AND COLUMBIA: MEM Master in Engineer Management (releted program by the MEMCP)
- Many mid-ranked schools (TA&M, Northeastern, Colorado): MS in Engineer Management.</p>
<p>I have many question like:
- Do I have a chance as an international student with no background in the US educational system to get into the higher ranked programs (UCB or USC)
- Are there any other Engineering Management Programs that you know of? if you do can you please tell me?
- Does anyone here have completed or is attending an EM program and can give me any feedback on the admission procces?
- Basically any first hand oppinion or sugestions would be aprecciated</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to read this...</p>
