MS in Mechanical Engineering / MBA
The Dual Masters of Science Program in Mechanical Engineering and MBA is one of the available Dual Graduate Degree Programs at the University of Bridgeport.
The Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering provides advanced study in traditional and contemporary Mechanical Engineering areas such as solid mechanics, structural dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanical design, computational methods, CAD/CAE/CAM, Ergonomics, Design and Innovation, Intellectual Property and Manufacturing. Admission to the program requires an undergraduate background that includes elementary physics, a calculus sequence, linear algebra and the following fundamental course work in Mechanical Engineering or related field. The department may require students to take make– ups for background deficiencies.
The MBA is a course of study intended to prepare individuals whose undergraduate background is in business. The MBA Program requires 30 to 54 semester hours of study depending on the student's academic background and level of academic achievement. Students with a recent four-year bachelor's degree and good academic average from an accredited business college may be able to complete the program with 30 semester hours of advanced study. Students with a bachelor's degree in a nonbusiness field may require up to 24 credits of business core courses as foundation for the degree.
