About the M.B.A./Engineering Dual Degree Program
UW’s M.B.A./M.S. in Engineering dual degree program offers a powerful blend of business leadership skills and technical expertise. In just two years, you’ll earn both an AACSB-accredited M.B.A. and an M.S. in mechanical engineering or petroleum engineering. This unique, interdisciplinary program combines advanced engineering coursework with strategic business training, preparing you to lead projects, manage teams and make complex decisions in today’s innovation-driven world. Outside of the classroom, you’ll get hands-on experience through internships and research.
To be considered for this dual degree program, you must apply to both the M.B.A. and the M.S. in mechanical engineering or petroleum engineering. Please notify both departments of your intention to pursue the dual degree path.
Our engineering and business programs prepare students to succeed after graduation. As part of our petroleum engineering degree, you’ll have access to an advisory board composed of industry professionals and alumni who have a vested interest in your education. All College of Engineering students have access to a dedicated team of career coaches at the Susan McCormack Center for Student Success who support students in reaching their professional goals. At the College of Business, enjoy the same resources through the Peter M. & Paula Green Johnson Student Success Center.
Additionally, the MBA program provides a wide range of experiential opportunities, including the Jackson Leadership Summit, manufacturing tours, legislative visits, venture capital firm visits and weekly Executive Speaker sessions.

Study Under Two Great Colleges
At the University of Wyoming, we take pride in all the colleges across campus being fully-equipped with expert faculty, exceptional facilities and small class sizes so you can get a personalized education. In addition to the College of Business being being AACSB-accredited, the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences prides itself on ensuring students gain hands-on experience, employer connections and earn a higher degree without overwhelming debt. Obtaining double the degrees means you'll be getting double the resources from UW.
“The MS-ME/MBA program is a unique opportunity to earn multiple degrees in a very short period of time. The MS-ME prepared me very well for the technical skills required to succeed in industry. While the MBA has not yet provided value in my current position, it promises to open doors for additional opportunities as I advance through my career.”
