MBA + MChE (Chemical Engineering)

Broaden your engineering foundation and achieve career advancement.

Broaden your engineering and business knowledge by earning a master of chemical engineering and MBA at the same time. The dual degree is possible with either the thesis or non-thesis master’s degree in chemical engineering.

Program Requirements

The dual degree program offers a faster time to completion than pursuing the degrees separately. The program counts 15 engineering credits toward the MBA, reducing the required credit hours to 62.
