Double-major (Engineering+Business)

<p>I've read something about it on UMich's website long ago, yet I can't find it again. Does anyone know where I can find more information about such program?</p>

<p>there is no “program” for a dual degree for undergrad. you simply just fulfill requirements for both.</p>

<p>I am a member of a club where there are a large number of dual-degree students. Some requirements can be waived, so it doesn’t require the full 45 extra credits. I know some people who can advise you on all the things you need to consider about deciding to do a dual-degree, and about what “shortcuts” there are. If you’d like, you can PM me and I’ll give you their emails.</p>

<p>^I’m not a student yet; I plan to join UMich this Fall. Not sure whether you’ve taken this into account, but, anyway, thank you so far.</p>

<p>There is a set schedule course guide they have made for dual BBA and BSE students. I looked into it but it seemed kinda redundant if you can just get an MBA later without the BBA</p>

<p>Thank you, Woody, that was quite insightful. The only down of an MBA program to me is that I plan to follow a more thorough Engineering path by going through a MSe. This is why I’m taking a look at the BBA right now.</p>

<p>Yeah, there really isn’t much of a point. If you want to do Business after undergrad, do Ross. If you want to do engineering do Engineering. If you want to switch over to the business side later after an engineering degree, you can get an MBA. In either choice however, there is some opportunity cost. By going io Ross, you give up any chance of becoming an engineer. By going to the college of engineering first, and not taking taking a business job out of college, there are some industries you will have a very very hard time getting into, even with a top MBA.</p>

<p>There are very few jobs that will require you to thoroughly understand both disciplines. My dad was an engineer who got an MBA and now works on the business side of his industry, and even though there are many in his current profession who are former engineers, he admits that you do not need a technical background to do his job.</p>
