波士顿大学

The Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Questrom School of Business offer a coordinated Master of Business Administration + Master of Science in Product Design & Manufacture, which is designed to train modern engineers to generate compelling new ideas—as well as the passion and leadership skills to translate those ideas into the practical design and mass production of innovative and cost-effective new products. Individuals taking courses on a full-time basis complete the program in two calendar years and receive two degrees. Students applying to this program must complete both the Questrom School of Business application and the College of Engineering application. Within each application, candidates should express his or her interest in this particular dual degree program. Candidates will then receive separate decisions from each school regarding admission to that portion of the dual degree. Please note that candidates may be admitted to one but not both of the schools in which the dual degrees are housed and may choose to pursue that individual degree. That said, they must be accepted by both schools in order to be eligible to complete the dual degree.

Program Requirements

Students pursuing the dual MBA+MS at the Questrom School of Business and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the College of Engineering (ENG) must give special attention to the course requirements of both schools. Students should meet with their academic advisors in both schools before the first semester and as needed during the program.

Dual Degree Requirements

Students may enroll in this dual degree program on a full- or part-time basis. A total of 80 credits is required of students pursuing this dual degree program full time. In this format, students must take 40 credits in residency at the Questrom School of Business. If completing the MBA as part of the PEMBA program, students need a total of 72 credits; 32 of these must be taken at Questrom. In either format, the remaining credits must include 32 credits taken at the College of Engineering and 8 credits taken at either school or, by permission, elsewhere in the University.

MBA Requirements

Full-time students complete the standard 34-credit MBA core curriculum through study in Questrom plus 6 credits of MBA electives. Part-time students complete a similar, but distinct, 32-credit MBA core curriculum, and they are not required to complete electives to meet their minimum Questrom enrollment for this dual degree.

Mechanical Engineering Requirements

Master of Science students are required to complete a minimum of 32 credit hours applicable to the degree according to the program planning sheet. All 32 credits must be at the 500 level or above. To graduate, a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (B) must be attained in the set of courses used to satisfy the program requirements for the degree.
