Okay. Is there an engineering & business major at Michigan? One thing about GT that attracts me is a program that mixes those two categories.

There is no practical reason for an undergrad joint program in engineering and business. You will not be more marketable to an engineering employer. In fact, the joint program may prevent you from taking in-depth engineering training (e.g., research; graduate level courses).

If you are interested in that, Michigan does offer an Engineering Global Leaderhsip Honors Program. EGL students earn a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in Engineering in 5 years.

"The Engineering Global Leadership Honors Program (EGL) leverages the strong resources of the University of Michigan by combining:


Excellent engineering education
Top-ranked Ross School of Business classroom experience
Diverse selection of global opportunities
Wide array of leadership training and experience
…


Along with the engineering degree requirements, EGL students must also complete:


2nd-year foreign language proficiency
12 credits of international coursework
12 credit in the Ross School of Business
EGL & Tauber Leadership Programs
Tauber Institute Team Project (paid internship)"
