Colorado_Mom: To make it simple, I have copied the programs from Viterbi-USC Engineering:

Dual Degree Program: M.S. Mechanical Engineering/ M.S. Engineering Management

Program Description

The department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering in conjunction with the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers programs leading to the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering/Master of Science in Engineering Management. This program is designed for graduate mechanical engineers whose career objectives lead to increasing technical management responsibilities.

Also: All applicants must meet the admission requirements of both the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
•A minimum of 48 units is required
A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required for graduation

So, total is 48 credits to graduate for both majors. If anyone is taking 9 units per semester or 18 units per year. They should be able to finish in about or less than 3 years.

Note: our son will do the programs part-time basis. My concerns are the programs doable while our son is also working FT. More importantly, will those things benefit his future career? maybe is it better just to take M.S. Engineering Management since it looks like he is being groomed to be line manager in the future? and he already has Mechanical Engineering degree - undergraduate. any thought? really appreciate it.
