Dual Degree (MS & MBA) Program

The Colleges of Business Administration and Engineering offer a coordinated program leading to the conferral of the Master of Science degree with a major in Industrial Engineering (concentration in manufacturing systems engineering or product development and manufacturing) and the Master of Business Administration degree (concentration in operations management). The dual degree program saves the student one or two semester(s) over the time that would be required to earn both degrees independently. All engineering students enrolled in the dual program must complete course work designed to provide them with an integrated multidisciplinary experience. The dual-degree candidate must satisfy the curriculum and graduate requirements of the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering as well as those of the College of Business Administration.
