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. As a result, they leave the program well prepared for success in managing highly technical business environments.

The IROM Department in the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas offers several areas in business and engineering in which a student can focus and specialize their studies. All students in the ERB major are required to select a business block option and an engineering block option.
