The OEM Program

The University of Florida offers an Engineering Management master's degree program in an outreach format for full-time working professionals. The Outreach Engineering Management master's degree program (OEM) is a joint endeavor between the College of Engineering and the MBA Program. OEM students earn an MS degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering (Engineering Management track). For many students, this is a solution to the problem of whether to get a technical master's degree or an MBA, and a concurrent degree option is now also available for students who decide that they want both degrees.
