Competition from Other Graduate Programs The analysis of competitive programs revealed that there is a need in the marketplace for an online MSEM as proposed. Within the CSU there are not any comparable programs. Though there are other MSEM programs at nine campuses, only four have an online component. Two of those do not involve an engineering college (Dominguez Hills and the Maritime Academy) and the other two are in Northern California and blend on-campus with online education (San Jose and Monterey Bay). There are four California private and UC schools offering an online MSEM (or an equivalent). UCLA is the public university; the three private universities are National University, USC and Stanford. Nationally, as of 2013, there were 37 additional online MSEM programs. These ranged from the most recognized engineering colleges (Duke, MIT, Purdue, Stanford) to more regional institutions (Kettering, Robert Morris, Worcester Polytechnic Institute). One important note is that our proposed program is clearly the right mix of a 30-unit program that costs about $30,000.
