The MBA and Master of Science in Engineering dual degree combines students' applied interests and training in engineering with the comprehensive business sense developed in the Full-Time MBA program. The result is a professional who is comfortable moving between technical and commercial issues.

The faculties of each college have created a program that ensures the educational experience that warrants a master status in each area. Students have the opportunity to pair their MBA with the following Master of Science in Engineering degree:

Why is This Valuable?

Engineers create and improve products, processes, and systems. However, the ultimate relevance of such new knowledge is determined not just by the laws of physics or chemistry, but also by the business environment and the judgment of the market. Just as conceiving or understanding a technical innovation requires technical depth, anticipating or even influencing the market's reaction requires an integrated understanding of business. Professionals trained to exploit both perspectives are valuable assets to companies who rely on technology innovation to stay competitive.

Degree Requirements

Graduates of the MBA/MS program earn two distinct degrees in one integrated educational experience. It is important to note that students don't receive a hybrid degree.

Because there is intellectual benefit from studying engineering and business administration in a coordinated program, an enrolled student earns both degrees in 21-24 months of full-time study. In general, students take 21 credit hours in the College of Engineering, 47 hours in the David Eccles School of Business, and a 6 hour capstone project course taught by both colleges. Up to 9 credit hours appear on the program of study for the individual degrees. This program eliminates up to 18 credit hours that would be required to complete the programs simultaneously. More importantly, participating in the academic and research aspects of two outstanding colleges gives MBA/MS students a significant leg-up in competitive job markets.
