Dual Degree Options in Management and Engineering

For those students interested in an interdisciplinary education that will provide them with a strong foundation in business, a solid background in an area of engineering, and an in-depth research or project experience, the College of Engineering and the Isenberg School of Management offer four dual master’s degrees. Programs are available to complete the M.B.A. in conjunction with the M.S. in Civil Engineering (M.B.A./M.S.C.E.), the M.S. in Environmental Engineering (M.B.A./M.S.Envr.E.), the M.S. in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (M.B.A./M.S.I.E.O.R.) or the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (M.B.A./M.S.M.E.).

The programs typically total 72-73 credits and include a 42-credit M.B.A. core component, an engineering core, engineering electives, and disciplined-focused project or thesis. Each program varies slightly; more information about the specific dual degrees is available in the respective engineering program section of this Bulletin.

Students applying to an M.B.A./engineering dual program submit one application and must meet the respective admission standards for each program. The GMAT is required for the M.B.A. and the GRE is required for the engineering degrees. The application is reviewed by both programs. Applicants must be accepted to both programs to enter the dual degree program.
