Why did you choose to enroll in the Duke MEM program?
My husband and fellow aerospace engineer, Myron Fletcher, earned a Master of Engineering Management degree from Duke in 2017. He raved about the program so much, I had to check it out. The Duke MEM program is one of the top engineering management master’s programs in the country and after undergoing the program myself, I now know why.
As a working professional, how did the program fit your work and life?
Duke MEM Online is structured perfectly for full-time working professionals. In my Duke experience, I learned so much in two years that would have taken me many years to acquire through my career alone.

As an aerospace engineer currently, I aspire to transition into management in the next step of my career. With the tools that I have acquired through the program, I am sure that the Duke MEM program will help me achieve that goal.

My favorite part was interacting with the amazing students in my cohort. They carried so many different professional talents and perspectives that contributed to the learning experiences in all courses that I took.
