Combined Degree Program – BSME/MBA
The MAE Department and the School of Management offer a five-year program
toward a joint BSME 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, 1010 Furnas Hall (kelewis@eng.buffalo.edu).
