Be Part of the Legacy
The MS in Product Management is a unique, modern program launched in 2018. This gives our students the opportunity to be actively involved in creating class traditions and program features.
In 2024, our students invented a competition called Product Wars, inviting 20 industry professionals and executives to work on a half-day challenge with aspiring product managers. Our students have also taken a leadership role in a new club called Product@CMU which provides networking activities, content creation and invites prominent guest speakers.
A Culture of Support for Diverse Perspectives and Experiences
The MS in Product Management fosters a culture in which all are encouraged to lead and succeed.
We are proud of our well-balanced male-to-female ratio in the MS in Product Management Program. Hear from some of our outstanding alumnae.
We also honor military service through participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Meet Ethan Moody, our first U.S. military veteran in the MS in Product Management Program.
Do I Need a Computer Science Background?
Contrary to traditional belief, a computer science background is not inherently required to build great products.
Our students come from a variety of backgrounds, but share a technical aptitude and strong desire to learn. While expertise in computer science may be common in this industry, it is by no means the only path.
Meet Jeff, a senior product manager at Time Warner and MAX. While Jeff comes from a nontechnical background, he showed the drive to learn.
