Joint B.S./M.B.A. Program

Students in this joint degree program earn degrees in both Industrial Engineering (a Bachelor of Science), and the UB School of Management (an MBA). Students complete all of the courses in the typical BSIE curriculum. During their fourth and fifth years, students take a combination of MBA and IE courses; thus, students earn the degrees at the end of five years.

Students wishing to pursue this program should apply during their third year of study in their undergraduate program—directly to the School of Management. Admissions will be limited to students who have demonstrated superior capabilities. Applications for the joint five-year program may be obtained in 206 Jacobs Management Center or on-line at http://www.mgt.buffalo.edu/mba/timetable.shtm.
