<p>Hey! I wanted to know which of these schools you guys think are the best for Engineering and Business majors; I want to double major in both of them. As far as engineering goes, I've narrowed it down to either electrical or biomedical. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Duke University
University of Virginia
University of Pennsylvania
Washington University in St. Louis
Rice University
Southern Methodist University
Vanderbilt University</p>
<p>How about apply and see where you get in?</p>
<p>If you can get in, UPenn is would be the best academically considering they have one of the top business schools in the country (Wharton) and are ranked quite highly for biomedical engineering.
I don’t know much about duke or UVA’s business schools (I plan on majoring in either biomedical or chemical engineering) but they both have very good biomedical engineering programs, with duke’s typically being among the top 5.
Vanderbilt, wash U, and rice aren’t ranked quite as highly as the past three for biomedical,but are still very good schools.</p>
<p>I would also recommend looking at University of Illinois-Urbana champaign and University of Wisconsin-Madison. Both have highly regarded engineering and business programs.</p>
<p>Google is your friend. Not that this particular ranking is better than any other publication’s list, but it’s a good starting point for a search.</p>

<p>Since Engineering majors are usually required to complete MORE credits than other majors (up to 130 for semester systems), it’s unlikely that you could fit all the Business req’ts in as well since there are few overlapping reqts. </p>
<p>Have you looked into how you would fit in the credit req’ts for both majors? Also, some B-schools accept you after your 2nd year. That means you’d have to have all your pre-B classes complete…while also getting your lower-division eng’g classes complete in SEQUENCE.</p>
<p>Do you have many AP credits? If so, check to see if any schools give you credits for them (not just elective credits).</p>
<p>Unless your family will “full pay,” many OOS publics will be expensive.</p>
<p>If you need FA, and you get accepted to a school like Duke that meets need, I don’t know if they’ll allow such a double major since it would take more than 4 years to complete…and some privates expect you to graduate in 4 years if you want aid.</p>
<p>Other than SMU, and possibly UVa if you are a VA resident, those are all reach schools. So chances are, if you apply to all of them, the adcoms will help answer your question.</p>
<p>Better add more “target” schools (not necessarily schools that have strong business programs as well as engineering, since you can get business education later from on-the-job training, internships, or an MBA program).</p>
<p>I just remembered that my kids’ undergrad (Alabama) has a STEM to MBA path, which allows a student to get a STEM degree (Science, Engineering, Math) and a MBA in 5 years. </p>
<p>TUSCALOOSA, Ala. *Forty-six of the countrys brightest students are registered at The University of Alabama this fall for a course of study that will allow them to combine their strengths in science, technology, engineering or math with their interests in business and complete their undergraduate studies and earn a masters degree in business administration in five years.</p>
<p>The future economic success of the United States depends in large measure on our ability to excel in technology-oriented businesses, said Dr. Rob Morgan, executive director for Innovation Initiatives in UAs Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration.</p>
<p>According to Morgan, 14 of the 46 students in the first class are from Alabama, with the remainder coming from Kentucky, New Jersey, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, California, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.</p>
<p>I think it is significant that more than two-thirds of the first class is from out-of-state, which will provide some cultural diversity, Morgan said. I also think it is significant that nearly half the class is female.</p>
<p>If you have the right stats (ACT 32+ or M+CR 1400+) and a 3.5 GPA, then the first 4 years of college would be tuition free (Presidential Scholarship) if you apply before Dec 1st. And, since Bama is very generous with AP credits, you might be able to shave off a semester and graduate in 4 1/2 years (or less). </p>
<p>I would be willing to bet that most/all of the students in the STEM to MBA program are attending Bama on that Presidential scholarship.</p>
<p>The students in this STEM to MBA program speak very highly of it. Frankly, an engineering degree with a MBA is far more beneficial than a double major.</p>
<p>in. I’ll be either valedictorian or salutatorian of my class. I have a 31 on the ACT</p>
<p>A number of those schools will be reaches.</p>
