Online Engineering Management Certificate
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Engineering Management
Drexel's accredited online Graduate Certificate in Engineering Management is a valuable professional credential for engineers and scientists who want in-depth exposure to skills and knowledge needed for management roles without having to commit to the entire program.
