<p>A BS in engineering from an accredited program would meet all academic requirements for an MBA. Yes, take some business courses on the side or in a minor to see if you like it. AFAIK, the top MBA programs prefer to accept applicants who have had some real world work experience after college. And a fresh BS in engineering usually has good job prospects at good starting salaries (the downsides to an engineering career can come later in life).</p>
<p>I believe Northwestern has a bachelor's in engineering/M.B.A. program.</p>
<p>what downsides do you mean :p would it be a bad life duing engineering management</p>
<p>One good route at Northwestern is to double major in economics (#8 by US News) and industrial engineering & management sciences (#7 by US News). If you add MMSS (method mathematical method for social sciences) on top of that, you will be one of the most sought after candidates.</p>
<p>I'd recommend Carnegie Mellon with #8 engineering and #5 business. The business is also now soft-skill based instead of MIT Sloan's quant based though it is still strong in those areas with a ranking of #2 in quantitative analysis. </p>
<p>It is also quite easy to double major at Carnegie Mellon and all the better with the business school now very reputable and balanced.</p>
<p>Keep in mind the ranking for undergrad business school is kinda inflated since majority of top business schools don't have undergrad programs. A #10 (just a random number) program may look good on paper but is probably not all that great. An econ major from any of the top schools can easily be more marketable.</p>
<p>thanks for the options...i think my indecisiveness is due to a relative lack of knowledge as to what i want to do. I was looking at vault and it seems very comprehensive for all types of jobs. Is it worth the $45 for a 6 month membership?</p>
