Admissions Requirements
Applicants must be graduates of an honours engineering program with at least a 70% average in the past four full semesters or the last two complete undergraduate years or the equivalent. Applicants who have completed their degrees outside of Canada will be required to secure a credential evaluation by an accredited international service such as the World Education Services.
Applicant qualifications will be reviewed and may be assessed via an entrance interview/oral examination conducted by the Graduate Program Coordinator and a selection committee composed of at least one member of the School of Engineering and at least one member of the Lang School of Business and Economics.
Successful applicants must also meet the University of Guelph's English Proficiency requirements for admission. If an applicant's first language is not English, an English Language Proficiency test will be required during the application phase. If the applicant's first language is not English but they have completed prior post-secondary studies in which English was the language of instruction, they may request to have their English Language Proficiency requirement removed. These decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
All applications will be received and reviewed by the Master of Engineering Management Program Committee. The program especially encourages applications from qualified members of under-represented groups, particularly from those who self-identify as women, visible minorities and Indigenous peoples.
Meeting minimum criteria for admission does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Limitations of resources, space, facilities or personnel may make it necessary for the University, at its discretion, to refuse admission to an otherwise qualified applicant.

Program Requirements
The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program requires that students complete nine courses (minimum 4.5 credits) including a final capstone course. Students take two core courses during their first semester, two core and one elective in the second semester, one core and one elective in their third semester, and the core capstone and one elective in their final semester. The first two semesters provide common foundational engineering management knowledge from both the engineering and management perspectives. The third and fourth semesters have been designed to allow students to customize their degree to support their career goals. Students are required to complete a capstone course in their final semester. The program as designed should take a minimum of four semesters to complete. Students are also required to attend an Engineering Management Orientation prior to beginning their first semester.
