Combined BSAE/MBA Program
Program Description
The MAE Department and the School of Management offer a five-year program toward a joint BSAE and MBA Degree. This program reduces by one year the usual pattern of a four year undergraduate degree and a two-year MBA program. At the completion, a joint BS/MBA diploma is awarded. Students wishing to pursue the combined program should take the GMAT and apply to the MBA program early during their junior year. Admissions will be limited to students who can satisfy the entrance requirements for the MBA program. Each candidate must meet all the degree requirements of each program, except for a reduction in the total credit hours by courses common to both programs. The details of the program shown below are subject to change.
To discuss the program, please contact:
- Dr. Kemper Lewis
