MBA + M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering Dual Degree Program

The dual M.S. in electrical & computer engineering/MBA provides you with the necessary skills to broaden your engineering knowledge while gaining a detailed understanding of the business environment. Although it does not preclude the possibility of engineering research (if you choose to pursue the engineering master’s degree with thesis), the dual degree can be achieved with a non-thesis master’s degree in engineering.
Program Requirements
The dual degree program counts 15 engineering credits toward the MBA program so that the dual degree requires 62 credits, rather than the 74 required if you were to pursue each degree separately. In order to take advantage of this credit savings, you must be admitted to the dual degree program before completing either the engineering or MBA program.
