Dual MEng/MBA

Dual MEng/MBA

 

This program is designed for the engineer who wishes to strengthen his/her engineering education with advanced work at the graduate level, and who has a sufficiently strong orientation toward management to invest substantial effort toward education in that area as well. The program is jointly administered by the School of Engineering and the School of Business Administration. At the completion of the program, the student is awarded both the Master of Engineering degree and Master of Business Administration degree.

The MEng/MBA program is available in all of the engineering majors except Engineering Management. By means of careful selection and coordination of courses to avoid overlap, the dual degree may be earned with a considerable saving in total time and credit requirements. The minimum total number of credits is 54 with thesis or 57 without thesis. All electives require the approval of the student's advisor.

The dual Master of Engineering/Master of Business Administration program requires separate applications for each degree program. Acceptance into both programs is prerequisite to acceptance as a dual MEng/MBA candidate.
