CBU Announces New Partnership With Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota

Memphis–Christian Brothers University (CBU) announces a new partnership with Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota to offer a Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) in an online format attracting engineers, scientists and information technology employees in the Twin Cities area.

CBU has been offering this program locally in Memphis since 1989. The master’s program builds upon bachelor degree preparation in engineering and other technical disciplines such as biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, and quantitative management.

The online degree will offer the same services and benefits as a student in the traditional classroom. The student will be taught and mentored by accomplished professors who uphold excellence in teaching. The MSEM professors provide individualized attention in the convenience of a virtual environment. The student will communicate with their professors via email and online chat discussions. In addition, the online education will allow the student to work with classmates in other countries who are enrolled in this program; thereby allowing them to gain a global business perspective in technology and management.

For more information on the program and how to enroll, contact Bethany King Robinson at (901) 321-3282 or bkrobins@cbu.edu ###
