Mechanical Engineering BSME/Business Administration MBA(non-thesis)

Undergraduate engineering students may earn both their Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree and an M.B.A. in a total of five years through this dual program, which is also the first and only B.S.M.E./M.B.A. degree offered by the University System of Georgia. This curricular combination will provide graduating students with not only the necessary engineering expertise but also the business skills needed for professional advancement and career success.

Admission to Program

Once admitted to UGA, students must meet certain standards to apply to high-demand majors in the UGA College of Engineering. Beginning in fall semester 2016, applicants will be selected based on their grades in general education and
major-specific courses along with information submitted in a personal statement of purpose. (This requirement does not apply to students already enrolled in a UGA College of Engineering degree program as of spring semester 2016.)
