Many Gordon Fellow Candidates pursue the Gordon Engineering Leadership Program as part of a Master of Science degree in the engineering discipline of their choice. For most engineering disciplines, the total number of required semester-hours remains the same when you pursue an MS degree with the Graduate Certificate in Engineering Leadership. Upon completion, students earn both a Master of Science degree and a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Leadership.

Pursuing the 16 semester-hour Graduate Certificate allows participants to:

• Take part in a hands-on curriculum taught by industry-experienced professors
• Participate in a flexible, hybrid class model allowing candidates to attend weekly classes both in-person or virtually
• Immerse themselves in a close-knit cohort of peers with technical skills and experience across a variety of engineering fields
• Receive one-on-one mentoring from industry experts and faculty

The Gordon Engineering Leadership Program anchors around an intense, market-worthy Challenge Project based on your organization’s strategic needs. This is a unique opportunity to apply your classroom experience professionally and further accelerate your career.

Students who already hold a graduate degree in engineering, or who are not interested in pursuing an MS degree, are eligible to apply for the stand-alone Graduate Certificate in Engineering Leadership.
