Combined Degree Program (MS and MBA) MBA/MS in Mechanical Engineering
| MBA/MS in Mechanical Engineering |
|
Total Credits: 72
The
joint MS/MBA program is a 72 credit program including 27 credits taken in the
Mechanical Engineering department and 45 credits taken in the College of
Business. We count two courses in both
programs because their subject matter overlaps both disciplines.
The
College of Business currently requires students to have an advanced degree or 5
years of business experience to enter the 48 credit MBA program. Joint degree
students will be allowed to enter this joint degree program directly following
their bachelors degree without having previously obtained a masters degree.
Admissions
Process:
The
admissions process starts with an application to the MS in Mechanical
Engineering program. Please indicate
that you would like to participate in the joint MBA degree program. Those applicants accepted by the Mechanical
Engineering Department for the MS degree are then forwarded to the College of
Business for review and approval. The
College of Business accepts the admissions information required of the
Mechanical Engineering program so that applicants will not have to provide any
further information or take any additional tests for the joint program. We expect students seeking to enter the joint
degree to address their interests in such a program in their personal
statement, which is part of all graduate student applications.
Completion
of Program:
To
complete the MS in the joint degree, students must take MEC 585 (Total Quality
Management) and MBA 589 (Operations Management) along with 8 (non thesis option) or 5 (thesis
option) MEC approved courses.
MEC 585 and MBA 589 will be double counted in both degrees reducing the
combined 30+48 credits by 6 for a total of 72 credits.
Upon
completion of the entire program, students will receive both degrees. If any joint degree student elects for any
reason not to complete the joint degree program, but completes the degree requirements
for one of the programs, the student would receive a degree in the completed
program. For instance, if a student in
the joint degree program decides after the first semester not to pursue the MBA
but completes all the requirements of the MS degree - 10 MS courses or 7
courses plus a thesis, the student would receive an MS degree in Mechanical
Engineering. The converse would be true
if a student completes the degree requirements for the MBA but elects not to complete
the MS portion of the joint degree. For information, please contact us at:
