BSIE/MBA

This combined degree offering is only available for students who are currently matriculated in the undergraduate ISE program.

These are the general requirements for this program, for specific requirements with regard to admission to the program, program administration, and graduation requirements, students should contact the Director of the MBA program in the College of Business at RIT.

This program allows student to complete a BS in IE and a MBA in an accelerated manner. There is an agreement between ISE and COB that certain undergraduate courses can fulfill the requirements of some MBA foundation courses as shown below (there is typically a 2:1 ratio between undergraduate courses and MBA courses). To take full advantage of the accelerated nature of the program, students typically define Economics as their liberal arts concentration and use their free elective to take a business course that fulfills a requirement (e.g., Financial Accounting, upper level management, marketing, or finance course).

• A maximum of 6 MBA foundation courses may be waived for a period of up to 5 years from the time the undergraduate course was completed.
• A grade of 'B' or better must be earned in an undergraduate course to be used to waive a MBA foundation course.
• Student must submit an application for admission to the MBA program. Minimum GMAT and GPA scores as specified by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) are required.
• A waiver for the Statistical Analysis for Decision Making graduate course is contingent upon the student passing the statistics portion of the graduate math diagnostic test that is administered during graduate orientation.
• Advising of students in this program will be undertaken by faculty members of the ISE Department and COB.
