MBA/Master of Science in Engineering
Are you seeking a fast-track management career with a significant engineering and/or technological focus? The Joint Degree MBA/Master of Science (MS) in Engineering Program is the answer, with full-time and part-time options available to suit your needs.
Offered by the University of Pittsburgh Katz Graduate School of Business and Swanson School of Engineering, the program enables students with an undergraduate degree in engineering or the hard sciences to gain the skills and expertise needed to excel in management roles with an engineering and/or technological focus.
