Today's graduates aspiring to assume managerial and leadership positions in
high tech firms and research institutions must be knowledgeable in both the
engineering and managerial dimensions of the position. In recognition of this
growing reality, UT-Dallas offers a blend of courses allowing students to earn
a combination of master's level degrees in both engineering and management.
Specifically, graduates of this program will qualify to earn an M.S.E.E. degree
in combination with an MBA, an M.S. or an M.A. degree in Management.
The combination of master's level degrees in both engineering and management
are jointly administered by the faculty members in the Department of Electrical
Engineering in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and
the School of Management.
The program of studies leading to the award of an M.S.E.E. degree by the
Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science in combination with one
of the following master's degrees, MBA, M.S. or M.A., offered by the
The University�s general admission requirements are discussed here.
Student pursuing the M.S.E.E. degree in combination with and a master's
degree in management must meet the admission requirements for both graduate
programs. The degree requirements are discussed here.
For this program of studies, the School of Management will accept a competitive
GRE performance in lieu of the GMAT.
The combination of M.S.E.E. and MBA degrees can be earned by completing a
minimum of 68 graduate hours beyond prerequisite courses. This includes a
minimum of 24 hours of approved electrical engineering courses in combination with
a minimum of 44hours of approved management courses.
Students enrolled in this combination of M.S.E.E. and MBA degree programs
are permitted to
Students are required to meet all other core and elective requirements for
the M.S.E.E. and MBA degrees to obtain the combination of the M.S.E.E. with
MBA graduate degrees.
The combination of M.S.E.E. and M.S. or M.A. degrees can be earned by
completing a minimum of 51 credit hours beyond prerequisites. This includes a
minimum of 24hours of approved electrical engineering courses in combination
with a minimum of 27hours of approved management courses for each of these
management degrees.
Students enrolled in a combination of the M.S.E.E. and M.S. or M.A. degree
programs are permitted to
Students are required to meet all other core and elective requirements for
the M.S.E.E. and M.S. or M.A. degrees to obtain the combination of M.S.E.E.
with M.S. or M.A. graduate degrees.
All students must have a graduate advisor in the electrical engineering
department and a graduate advisor in the management school who will advise on
respective programs and approve a degree plan. The advising office in each
school will provide a detailed listing of approved courses. Courses taken
without advisor approval may not count toward the required credit hours. No
degree will be awarded until the completion of all requirements, including the
requirement for the 68 or 51 credit hours for the M.S.E.E./MBA or M.S.E.E./M.S.
or M.A. combinations respectively. If a student chooses at a later time to
pursue only one of the two degree programs, the student MUST again seek
admission into the degree program of the student's choice and satisfy the
requirements of that degree program. Prior coursework relevant to the specific
degree program will be transferred, provided the course requirements have not
changed.
