In May of 2025, the Graduate Certificate of Engineering Management (GCEM) passed the last approval process and will eventually be awarded at the U. The U works on academic years. It is unknown whether or not the U can award a GCEM at the end of Fall 2025, Spring 2025, or Summer 2026. GCEMs will for sure be awarded starting in Fall 2026. Students knowing that they will be enrolled in Fall 2026, may pursue a GCEM. Students graduating before Fall 2026 may pursue the GCEM, but it may or may not be awarded.
