Tracks

A recent evolution of the iE&M program is the option to add a level of specificity to your studies through one of our tracks. These tracks allow a student to gain additional knowledge in a particular field.

Maybe you’re interested in how products move from nations across the world into U.S. markets, and you want to study that business aspect in more detail. Or maybe during your first couple of years at Clarkson you’ve discovered a knack for the technical side of things and want to develop a focus in that direction. In that case, we have devised 10 distinct tracks to choose from, each tailored to a specific area of study. (Please note: Two of our “tracks,” Global Supply Chain Management and Honors, come with entrance restrictions.)

Below is a brief description of these "tracks", followed by course summaries for each one. The "Typical Courses" listed for each concentration area take the place of "free" electives offered to students who pursue the iE&M degree.
