The Professional Master’s in Manufacturing Leadership (Online) is designed for experienced engineers looking to build their operations and personnel management skills while working full-time.

The two-year program consists of ten core courses covering technical competencies, sustainable system design, manufacturing continuous improvement, and leadership skills. 

The curriculum is taught in a hybrid format that blends face-to-face instruction and 24/7 online learning. As a hybrid student, you can expect:

  • Online lessons delivered asynchronously to accommodate your schedule.
  • Live office hours to get answers to your questions and meet with instructors.
  • Three in-person three-day visits to Atlanta, Ga. (United States) over two years to meet with your cohort. Specific dates, as well as extensive visitor guidance and support from program staff, are provided before starting the program.
  • Two seven-week courses each Fall and Spring semester are taken consecutively.
  • One seven-week course in your first Summer semester and one twelve-week capstone course in your second semester.

The program culminates with a 12-week team-based capstone project that requires you work within a team and use your new skills and knowledge to address a real-world need.
