Tufts Gordon Institute

As Tufts University’s hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, and management within the School of Engineering, Tufts Gordon Institute (TGI) provides students the practical leadership tools necessary to develop innovative ideas that will make a difference in the world. Our graduate and undergraduate programs, as well as workshops, short courses, and professional education opportunities, are taught by industry-expert faculty who have started and run their own companies, and know what it takes to succeed in the business world.

Engineering Management (MS)

The MS in Engineering Management (MSEM), offered online or as a hybrid of online and in-person experiences, is a modern part-time program that prepares leaders for the new world of work. Designed for forward-thinking professionals and built on over 30 years of success, the MSEM’s digital-first curriculum delivers relevant content and practical skills you need to thrive in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. And it works – more than half of our students are promoted before graduation. Customize your MSEM to fit your life, choosing the pace that works best with your schedule, lifestyle, and budget. Benefit from a highly personalized experience, including individualized leadership coaching. Supplement your online learning with optional in-person electives and weekend on-campus immersive experiences. Unlike a technical master’s or MBA program, Tufts’ MSEM offers you the complete package for holistic growth and career development.

Innovation and Management (MS)

The MS in Innovation and Management (MSIM) is a full-time, accelerated master's program that prepares you to hit the ground running in as little as one year. Designed for recent STEM graduates, the MSIM program provides students with product innovation, marketing, finance and leadership skills. Whether you aspire to work in new product development, technology strategy, business or data analytics, product management, or even launch your own venture, the MSIM program prepares you to shape the world through innovation. Students interested in building technical depth in addition to their MSIM degree can choose to leverage the program’s flexibility to earn either a graduate certificate or a second master’s degree through our MSIM+ or Dual Degree programs.
