Is it possible to do dual degree in engineering and business?

<p>I looked up their website, however I didn't really find anything detailed enough.</p>

<p>Is it possible to enter Michigan college of engineering, then apply for a second degree at Ross School of business?</p>

<p>I'm looking into schools that offer dual degrees/double majors in business and engineering, so far I've searched that Penn, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Mich have both great undergrad business and engineering programs.
any other suggestions are more than welcome :)</p>

<p>on the engineering website says you can do a businessor whatever degree from starting in engineering. Not sure about ROSS though. However, dual degrees would be 150 credit hours.</p>

<p>could u give the link?
(I think I'll start off w/ engineering)</p>

<p>Take a look at UPenn's M&T program. It's awesome! It's really hard to get into though. You go to Wharton & SEAS, which is a pretty good deal.</p>

<p>You should probably take a look at UC Berkeley + UT Austin + UIUC + Georgia-Tech/Emory 3/2 program...that's all I can think of...maybe even Cornell.</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>i was just wondering if U mich has this opportunity. </p>

<p>will one be able to finish an engineering+BBA at u mich in 4 years? or will it be fivve?</p>

<p>I think you have to do it in 5...b/c there are a lot of requirements or something. I think it's easier to do engineer+economics in 4.</p>

<p>isn't business just applied economics?</p>

<p>Yes, it is possible to double major in Business and Engineering at Michigan, but unlike other gimmicky Business/Engineering dual concentrations at other universities, Michigan will not shortchange either program. That is why it takes 5 years to complete the double concentration. Any school that claims to do it in 4 years is shortchanging one of the two (or both) majors.</p>

<p>Kenny, Business can be defined as applied Economics, but the B-school has more requirements than the Econ department. That's why it would probably take a student an extra semester to double in Engineering and Econ and an extra two semesters to double in Engineering in Business.</p>

<p>Alexandre - Would it be better to do a double major in engineering and business in 5 years and maybe go to grad school or just a single major in engineering followed by an MBA?</p>

<p>I don't know that much about it, but I hear that the BBA is only really useful in finance/accounting, and it's definitely not the same thing as an MBA.</p>

<p>is a double degree undergrad in engineering+business + MBA just too redundant?</p>

<p>like, undergrad engineering+MBA would be more efficient?</p>

<p>Isn't the MBA Program originally made for Engineers who wanted business degrees?</p>

<p>I would recommend focusing on Engineering as an undergrad, work for a few years and then go for a MBA.</p>

<p>I second that. Engineering undergrad, MBA later.</p>

<p>Christine, some of the BBAs at top schools are treated like MBAs. Wharton, for example, has a lower feeder score than Ross to the top MBA schools because of this factor. Ross is often treated in the category of "just as good as an MBA."</p>

<p>MBAs can also concentrate in finance or accounting. BBAs can also focus on classes other than finance and accounting although these are the most popular. Marketing is one example of several other paths a BBA may take.</p>
