Dual degrees similar to M&T Jerome Fisher

<p>Since no one at college admissions answered me, I thought I should give the parents a try. </p>

<p>Basically, I'm looking for a specialized dual degree in engineering and business/economics. I heard M&T is very difficult to get into, so are there any others?</p>

<p>CMU has an engineering and public policy dual degree program.</p>

<p>If a technical school (RPI, WPI, GTech) also has a business school, it may be possible to get a dual degree.</p>

<p>Most big State U's that have engineering schools will also have business schools, and may also have programs for dual degrees.</p>

<p>Many programs will give you a undergrad engineering degree and and MBA in 5 years...which is 1 year shorter than it would normally take, and you'll have a graduate degree.</p>

<p>A little website research at these types of schools will probably give you the info. you need. Try a Google search on something like "Dual undergraduate engineering and business degrees"</p>

<p>RPI has a dual masters program and a business school - hard to tell from the website exactly what would be available to undergrads, but I'd guess a good bet plus RPI is an excellent school with a 75% admit rate.</p>

<p>Thank you. What about some of the top 10/20 schools like Penn?</p>

<p>Compare to Penn's M&T program?</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins has Engineering majors with a minor in Entrepreneurship & Management and I believe there are similar programs at University of Maryland.</p>

<p>Any university that offers the ability to do a double major in business and technology will satisfy your requirements (Illinois, Texas, etc).</p>

<p>Olin's program is only about 5 years old...and tuition is paid by the school for all students. (Students must still pay room and board, but there is need based fin aid.) It has become very competitive...but I can't find the stats. I'm sure someone on this board has them!</p>
