Overview
The College of Engineering and the College of Business offer a dual degree program
for students who would like to earn both a Masters degrees in Business Administration
(MBA) and in Industrial and Systems Engineering (MISE). Industrial Engineers often
have opportunities to quickly move into management positions because of their
interaction with people and the broad perspective of their work.
This dual degree program provides graduates with a solid foundation in traditional business subjects, practical leadership and team building experience, a clear understanding of social and ethical issues, and a mastery of new technologies and their impact on the changing global business environment. Skills in team-building and innovative thinking are emphasized throughout this integrated curriculum.
Prospective Students and Admissions Requirements
Admission for the combined program requires completing separate applications
for both the Colleges of Engineering and Business. Applicants must meet admission
requirements for both the MBA and MISE programs, however, they may be admitted
to both colleges through the use of one standardized exam -- either the GRE or
the GMAT. Also, a student can apply, be admitted and begin studies in either the
MBA or MISE program and later enter this dual program. Applicants may enter this
program any of the three semester terms (fall, spring, summer). Most of the applicants
to this program have undergraduate degrees in engineering, other students with
strong mathematical backgrounds, including at least a year of calculus, are also
encouraged to apply. In addition, all of the prerequisites for the MBA Program
have to be met before starting this program.
