Develop Expertise in Management and Engineering

students in classComplete a dual MBA/MSE in industrial and systems engineering entirely online at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The MSE is designed for engineers and other professionals who are responsible for designing, installing, improving, and evaluating large integrated systems, while the MBA will equip you with broad management skills.
