Rose-Hulman is the No. 1 ranked undergraduate engineering college in the country, with approximately 2,000 undergraduate students, according to the University.
Many of these students will be able to earn a master of science in one year from the Kelley School of Business after receiving their undergraduate degree from Rose-Hulman.
Students will also have the option of applying for deferred admission to the business school’s full-time MBA program.
Recent studies have shown that, while engineering degrees from top schools such as Rose-Hulman are valuable, employers are particularly interested in engineers with business knowledge, according to the University.
The one-year master’s program will accelerate the degree process by one year, according to the University.
A master’s degree takes 30 credit hours to complete.
Students can earn an in-residence master’s degree in accounting and information systems or online master’s degrees in information technology management, entrepreneurship and innovation, business analytics, finance, global supply chain management, marketing and strategic management.
The online master’s program involves both in-residence and online components.
All Rose-Hulman students participating in the program will be required to take a business core class during the spring semester of either their junior or senior year.
Upon the completion of the core requirement, students can begin their business coursework, according to the University.
The business school has a similar program in place for students in IU’s College of Arts and Sciences.
Rose-Hulman has a similar agreement with the IU Maurer School of Law, which also has programs in place with Princeton University, Georgia Tech and Knox College.
