Colleges with excellent business and engineering progams

College Search & Selection

<p>I'm in need of some assistance in looking for other colleges around the U.S. with great business and engineering programs. It does not matter about instate/out of state, private/public, etc.</p>

<p>We need more information. What are your grades, academic rigor, test scores, desired location, financial need, etc.?</p>

<p>In the meantime, check out the [College</a> Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics](<a href=“http://nces.ed.gov/COLLEGENAVIGATOR/]College”>College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics)</p>

<p>^That above list looks good to me, but I’d think that the vast majority of universities wouldn’t allow you to cross-enroll at major in business and engineering at the undergrad level, especially if they are separate schools. I know that UPenn has a very competitive Engineering/business program (Jerome Fisher), so you might want to check that out.</p>

<p>For example, are there really any Ross students at UMich that also major in engineering? I suppose it might be possible, but I don’t think it’s very common. A more doable double major might be engineering/economics, although if you want business, clearly economics isn’t the same thing. But engineering/economics opens up a lot more schools (and the above certainly fit the bill as well). At least, that’s my impression, but it’s possible that I’m wrong.</p>

<p>I think Lehigh (or maybe it’s Bucknell) has a business/engineering combo.</p>

9

<p>@bluedog: I did not interpret the OP’s post in that way. It seems to me that s/he is undecided and would simply like the school to be strong in both business and engineering, not necessarily offer both at the same time.</p>

10

<p>@noimagination. </p>

<p>Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that’s certainly possible that that is what the OP wanted.</p>

11

<p>I think UC Berkeley is one of the tops in both.</p>

12

<p>[IBE</a> home](<a href=“http://www.lehigh.edu/~inibep/]IBE”>http://www.lehigh.edu/~inibep/)</p>

13

<p>Wisconsin-Madison</p>

14

<p>Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Northwestern.</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>MIT allows undergrads to freely switch between engineering and business, or pursue both, despite being separate schools. Many MIT engineering students also double in Sloan management. Bob Metcalfe, inventor of Ethernet, famously doubled in EECS and Sloan management.</p>

16

<p>Case Wesetern, Penn State, Purdue, all tech schools, most flagship state schools.</p>

17

<p>Penn is tops
Lafayette is good</p>

18

<p>Penn is not all that great in engineering.</p>
