Master's in Engineering without an Undergrad Engineering Degree

Applying to College

Hi everyone

My undergrad is in business and I have an MBA. I want to get an engineering degree but I realize that I won’t be qualified for a master’s in engineering without an undergrad engineering degree, at least from the

I work in the energy sector and an engineering degree would definitely help. What are my options at this point? Do I have to go through the entire bachelor degree all over again? I heard that there are “engineering transition programs” out there that allow non-engineering undergrads to go for a master’s in engineering by fulfilling some prerequisites. But I don’t know exactly which school would offer that. Please help. Thanks!

You sound like the perfect candidate for BU’s LEAP (Late Entry Accelerated Program) program http://www.bu.edu/eng/academics/special-programs/leap/. Students without ENG undergrad degrees successfully complete a series of core undergrad coursework (Phase 1) before transitioning to either an MS or MEng in their chosen engineering discipline. This program welcomes 50 new students each fall, from a huge array of backgrounds and from all over the country and world. There’s an upcoming online LEAP Information Session on November 3rd @5pm.
