Engineering MS with a bachelors in business?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the transition from a Bachelor’s in Business Administration to pursuing a Master's in Environmental Engineering after completing an Associate's in Engineering. The individual has completed rigorous coursework, including Calculus 3, Differential Equations, and Thermodynamics, which are essential for advanced engineering studies. The consensus is that entering a Master's program is feasible, provided the individual meets the specific prerequisites of the desired program. Researching program requirements is crucial for a successful transition.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of environmental engineering principles
  • Familiarity with engineering mathematics, including Calculus 3 and Differential Equations
  • Knowledge of core engineering subjects such as Thermodynamics and Circuit Theory
  • Awareness of graduate program admission requirements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific Master's programs in Environmental Engineering and their prerequisites
  • Explore the fundamentals of environmental engineering practices and consulting
  • Review advanced topics in Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics
  • Connect with academic advisors or professionals in the field for guidance
USEFUL FOR

Individuals transitioning from business to engineering, aspiring environmental engineers, and students seeking to understand the academic pathways for advanced engineering degrees.

Hello two years ago I graduated from a private college in missouri with a bachelors in business administration. One year before I graduated I was 100% sure I wanted to go back and get a bachelors degree in engineering. I am now one semester away from getting an associate in engineering from a community college in kansas city. I am wondering if going straight into a masters engineering program from here would be a good idea or not. I intend to go into environmental engineering. Eventually consulting. Would this be a good idea or would i be setting myself up for failure? Any comments are much appreciated. Again, I will complete my associate in engineering one semester from now. An associates in engineering includes all math classes including calculus 3 and differential EQ, statics, dynamics, circuit theory, thermodynamics, and strength of materials. So I will have had all of these courses. How possible and practical is it to go for a masters in environmental engineering from here?
