Electives (6 credit hours)

Two courses with the approval of both graduate advisors from the graduate offerings of Management, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering, with at least one course (three credit hours) from Management.

Dual degree students may, at their option, complete MBA concentrations.  This will result in additional graduate-level credit hours beyond the minimum 66 required to complete the MBA/MSE degrees.

A thesis option may be elected which will count for six hours of the Electives requirement.
