<p>Are there any similar/comparable programs to Lehigh's Integrated Businees & Engineering honors program offered by other schools in the north-east and mid-atlantic area?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m not sure how selective Lehigh’s program is, but if you’re looking for what is perhaps the best undergrad business-engineering combo, look into Penn’s Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology (M&T). Admission rate is <8%</p>
<p>Considering how incredibly time-consuming engineering is, do you really want to shoulder business as well? Engineering is already such a lucrative major and I’m guessing you want to have some semblance of a social life? Maybe Lehigh’s integrated program is well planned but it seems rather pointless to get a business degree on top of engineering. </p>
<p>Presumably the job you would be looking for out of college would stem from your engineering degree? Don’t see how business would help you there. I’d suggest focusing your energies on engineering, landing an excellent job out of college through the highest paying major, and then if you still want to do business hitting grad school later.</p>
<p>Not to tell you what not to do, just curious. I just don’t see a whole lot of value in a business degree for an engineer.</p>
<p>I agree with PrestonWA. Get a job as an Engineer and you might (depends on the company/organization) be able to get an MBA that is virtually free a few years later. My wife saw a number of folks in this situation years ago.</p>
