Industrial Engineering Early Start

The five-year MBA option for industrial engineering or industrial technology students helps you obtain both an undergraduate engineering degree and an MBA within five years after the beginning your course of study at Lamar University.

By utilizing two electives for your bachelor's degree, you can get an early start on your MBA classes.

Students can take up to nine graduate hours before their undergraduate degree is conferred. Six of those nine hours of MBA courses can be counted as engineering elective hours. Courses chosen must be from MBA leveling or MBA core and must be approved by the MBA office.

Engineering Economics is part of the industrial engineering/technology core. This course will satisfy the leveling requirement for FINC 5300.
