Joint program in engineering and business?

<p>Hey sorry to ask yet another question...I foudn the Jerome Fischer Program in Management and Technology at UPenn, but only accepting 55 students a year, it seems very unlikely. I was wondering what other schools have similar joint-degree programs with engineering and some sort of business. Whether or not its a program or just something that can easily be done doesnt really matter. One school that im looking at is swarthmore because it is a great school and very flexible, seemingly leading to a simple way of double-majoring. Yet, very few other LACs have engineering, im not sure that i want such a small school, and their engineering is very general. Whether or not its a program or just something that can easily be done doesnt really matter, but id prefer a program if any other schools offer a good one. Any help is appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>Lehigh has a program that is like Penn's, where you get two degreess, called IBE.</p>

<p>it seems good but unless i read wrong, you only get one degree: a B.S. in "business and engineering"</p>

<p>At Northwestern, people with similar interest usually double major in economics and IEMS (industrial engineering and management sciences). Both are considered top-10 programs. If you are very strong in math, you may even want to add MMSS (mathematical methods in social sciences). <a href="http://www.mmss.northwestern.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mmss.northwestern.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Lehigh, Northwestern, Brown, Carnegie Mellon...those are the ones i can think of.</p>

<p>what exactly does brown have? i know they have to business school like lehigh or penn does.</p>

<p>thanks....i just got SATII scores. 740 Math II and 720 Physics (also 740 US hist from before). With a 1420/2110 SAT (im gonna retake) adn those IIs, do i have a chance at some higher end engineering schools?</p>

<p>The mean SAT I was 1416 and the median was 1430 for "enrolled" engineering students at Northwestern two years ago. Keep in mind the average for admits would be higher as it lost the very top cross-admits to places like MIT/Harvard/Stanford. The stats for this year should be a bit higher than those 2 years ago. I think you are in the right range to be competitve for Northwestern.</p>

<p>and would my new SATIIs be ok for engineering? it seems from this site that theyre low :(</p>

<p>Students at MIT are free to get double-degrees in just about any degree combination they want. A significant number will get dual-degrees in engineering and at the Sloan School. I once worked with a girl who got 3 MIT degrees (bachelors and masters in EECS + bachelors at Sloan), all in 4.5 years. </p>

<p>Or course, if you can't get into Jerome Fischer, you may not be able to get into MIT either.</p>

<p>Brown has the COE major which is a combination of biotechnology and management...so you can make it into a BME or ChemE and business economics major.</p>

<p>bump it uppp :D</p>

<p>you are correct that the four year version of lehighs program does not result in an engineering degree. however, one can be earned in a fifth year of study. bucknell also just announced a similar five-year, joint-degree program.</p>

<p>USC has an Industrial and Systems Engineering which integrates business and engineering principles under a BS Engineering. </p>

<p>USC also allows any engineering major to get either a minor in Business or a minor in Technology Commercialization. The tech. comm. minor is specifically designed for engineers who want to work in high tech business.</p>
