Starting this fall, students will be able to enroll in a joint degree program that combines a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Engineering (MEng). The University of Connecticut\u2019s School of Engineering and School of Business recently approved the new joint degree to meet the increasing demand for engineers in management.<\/p>\n
The MEng program was developed by the School of Engineering at UConn to provide practicing engineers at participating companies an opportunity to enhance their engineering skills. By boosting both business knowledge and engineering skills, the program is ideal for engineers who plan to move into management. It\u00a0was designed with\u00a0the working student in mind. The dual Master\u2019s degree courses are offered in the evening with distance learning options and students have\u00a0the option of beginning with either or both curriculums.<\/p>\n
Dual MBA\/MEng students will begin their program with MEng required curriculum. Because the part-time MBA program is designed for working engineers, classes are held in the evening.<\/p>\n
Students interested in the dual MBA\/MEng program must apply to each program separately. It is not necessary to apply simultaneously, but it’s\u00a0recommend that interested MEng students seek admission to the part-time MBA program either during their MEng study or at the time they apply to the MEng program. Admission to one program has no bearing on the other program\u2019s admission decision.<\/p>\n
The standard MENG program is 27-credits and the standard MBA program is 57-credits.\u00a0 With the Dual MBA\/MENG degree, you are exempt from 15 credits in the MBA curriculum, bringing the total number of credits to 69.\u00a0 You can expect the dual degree program to take four to five years to complete, depending on the number of courses taken each semester.\u00a0<\/p>\n
MEng students, provided they get admission to both degrees, can take courses simultaneously in the two programs.<\/p>\n
