Join us on January 21st as Jayson Pemberton, MBA/MSE Student Ambassador from the David Eccles School of Businees, presents his talk on “Opportunities in the MBA/MSE Program”. The lecture will run from 10:45-11:35am in WEB L104.
Abstract
The University of Utah offers a unique opportunity for engineering students to pursue two Masters Degrees at the same time, one in the engineering field of their choice (Mechanical, Chemical, Biological, etc.) and secondly an MBA (Masters of Business Administration). These degrees are pursued simultaneously and eliminates up to 9 credit hours by awarding credit to both degrees for 3 classes. Students who have participated in this program have found it to be extremely beneficial both intellectually and for their careers..
