Hey, I'm a Senior in High School and wanted to know if there are any good colleges that have double-degree programs for a business degree and an engineering degree. I know that Lehigh has an IBE program and Rutgers has like a 5 year Engineering/MBA program. But does anyone else know any other colleges.

Thanks in advance.

UPenn has a program called the Jerome Fisher program. You may want to look into that.

Michigan has a program, but unless you're a "preferred admit" you're going to be uncertain of your status for a year.

some schools have a Masters of Engineering Management and Masters of Systems Engineering... great alternatives to a Masters of Business Admin due to the fact that its geared towards engineering.

I find that you should go to school for the engineering degree, get a job / work experience / leadership skills, then go to a top-ranked MBA school.

How can you manage people with your MBA degree if you haven't been in their shoes beforehand? You don't know what its like to work as ______. That's why internationally (and nationally) top-ranked MBA schools have at least 2-5 years of work experience, prior to obtaining a MBA. Think about it.
