Stanford's MS&E VS MBA

<p>Stanford's MS&E prorgram vs MBA.</p>

<p>I suppose many of you on this board have considered Stanford MS&E. So..</p>

<p>Which is worth more in the real world and how are they different? Would it be redundant to get an MBA after MS&E?</p>

<p>What do you want to do?!</p>

<p>For engineering, MS&E. For business, MBA. </p>

<p>I know of people who have gotten both, both simultaneously as a joint degree and one after the other (MBA after the MS&E).</p>

<p>I’m curious as well. After doing a B.S. in something like Computer Science, would it be better to do a MS&E coterm, or get an MBA later?</p>

<p>This is resurrecting an old thread, but a Stanford MBA is worth far more than a Stanford MS&E degree in terms of future earning potential. There would be nothing wrong with getting the MS&E degree and then doing an MBA after you get some good work experience, but don’t expect a degree in MS&E to open the doors that an MBA would.</p>

<p>I did the graduate certificate in MS&E through SCPD and the classes are a lot more technical than typical MBA classes. While MBA classes are a joke from a difficulty standpoint, MS&E 201 (Dynamic Systems) at Stanford earned my respect. Avoid that class if you can help it. :)</p>
