The mission of Dartmouth's Master of Engineering Management (MEM) degree is to develop managers who understand both the engineering and business aspects of technology. This highly customizable degree is offered by Thayer School of Engineering in conjunction with Tuck School of Business. Small classes are taught by faculty from both schools. Students gain access to Dartmouth's global alumni network, and many engage with experts at Geisel School of Medicine and the broader New England community of entrepreneurs.

Jessica Duda, MEM '99, is Project Director at Third Rock Ventures. She says the MEM provided a "unique cornerstone" for her career. She adds:
"The Dartmouth MEM has opened numerous doors and allowed me to pursue many varied interests from general management consulting in a variety of industries to venture capital investing in early stage, high-tech startup companies. My uniquely broad engineering education combined with the essential business principles taught in the MEM program have been invaluable resources in evaluating the technical feasibility of new ideas, determining the extent to which it is possible to transform these ideas into marketable products, and identifying opportunities within the marketplace that will foster successful growth of new companies."

Upon graduation, a Dartmouth MEM degree-holder commands, on average, a starting salary 36% higher than a holder of a BS degree in engineering, and this difference increases with the number of years past graduation. Ten years out, the Dartmouth MEM grad enjoys a compensation that rivals or exceeds that of an MBA degree holder with the same seniority. (Source: Businessweek)
