MBA programmes for engineers/scientists

[sony]

I have applied to a physics bachelor degree. When I'm finnished with that I hope to have a chance applying to some schools in the USA (graduate program).

But I'm also interested in economics, and I have heard that some schools offer students with background in physics and such specialized MBA programmes. Does anybody know something about this? Which schools is it?


By the way, when I take my physics bachelor, do you think my univ. can help me choose courses, so I can apply to the more engineering oriented programmes in universities around the world? I want to work in industry when I'm I am finished...

Thanks!

Yes, your university should be able to help you choose courses to prepare for a specialized MBA program. Many universities offer MBA programs with a concentration in engineering or science. Some examples include the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business, and the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business. Each school has a different approach to the program, so it is important to research the specifics of each program carefully. Additionally, some schools offer co-op programs that allow students to gain experience in industry while completing their MBA. Be sure to check if your university offers this type of program before enrolling.

There are several MBA programs specifically designed for engineers and scientists who are interested in pursuing a career in business. These programs combine the technical knowledge and skills acquired through an undergraduate degree in engineering or science with business and management education.

Some top schools in the USA that offer specialized MBA programs for engineers/scientists are MIT Sloan School of Management, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and University of California Berkeley Haas School of Business. These programs are highly competitive and require a strong academic background and relevant work experience.

In terms of choosing courses for your undergraduate degree, it would be beneficial to discuss your interests and career goals with your university's career services or academic advisors. They can help guide you towards courses that align with your interests and prepare you for a future MBA program.

Additionally, gaining relevant work experience in the industry you want to work in can also be beneficial for your MBA application. This can showcase your skills and knowledge in a practical setting and make you a more competitive candidate.

Overall, pursuing an MBA after completing your physics bachelor's degree can open up many opportunities for you in the business world. It combines your technical background with business skills, making you a valuable asset in industries that require a strong understanding of both. Good luck with your academic journey!
