About the Program

The Engineering Route to Business Program is a rigorous and challenging degree plan that satisfies industry's demand for technologically savvy graduates who have backgrounds in both engineering and business. In the ERB Program, students take engineering, math, and science classes while working toward a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. ERB students develop a broad strategic perspective of business principles and acquire a solid command of the technical fundamentals of engineering.

In addition to specific required business and engineering courses, the program contains two block options designed to help students develop greater competence in particular aspects of engineering and business:

1. a four-course engineering block option
   and
2. a three-course business block option.

The combination of engineering and business culminates in students leaving the program well prepared for success in managing highly technical business environments. ERB students are qualified for a wide range of entry-level positions including the following:

• project control specialist
• procurement manager
• information systems analyst
• financial analyst
• production and logistics manager
• customer service analyst
• technical sales and marketing
• business consultant
