MBA + M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering

Accelerate your management career with an MBA with a strong engineering focus.

The dual MMSE/MBA will provide 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 (when a student chooses 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 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. 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.
