MSE-MBA PROGRAM
You enjoy your career in engineering and know you have the potential to be great. You
also know that to take your career to the next level you need not only cutting-edge
engineering skills; you need the business skills and credentials that can only be obtained
from an elite business school.
Through our rigorous core curricula and innovative bridge courses, Purdue and Kelley
provide you with the technical foundation you need in both engineering and business
while allowing you to customize your education to meet your unique goals. You will
learn from the same renowned faculty who teach in Purdue and Kelley’s highly-ranked
campus programs while you continue your career.
History and Mission
Since 2004 the mission of the dual MSE-MBA program between Purdue University’s
Engineering Professional Education (EPE) and Indiana University’s Kelley Direct
MBA has been to provide quality distance education to working professional engineers.
Purdue and IU are among the first research universities nationally to make available
specialized graduate programs entirely through distance education. The faculty at both
universities has been teaching in our online programs for over a decade, so they under-
stand the best way to deliver course material online.
Curriculum Overview
The goal of this dual program is to provide high quality graduate-level distance educa-
tion to working professional engineers located anywhere in the world.
The Purdue-Kelley dual MSE-MBA program offers you a unique opportunity to gain
additional technical expertise and learn management skills to complement your existing
knowledge and capabilities.
You earn two degrees in a total of 60 credit hours, compared to 81 credit hours if you
earned each degree separately.
This gradual progression from engineering into management expands your knowledge
and understanding of the technical/ management challenges in industry while develop-
ing individual and team skills required for launching innovative strategies that advance
the goals of your company.
Purdue MSE/MS Dual Degree Course
