Building on a solid foundation in business and management acquired through a BTech degree, pursuing an MBA equips graduates with the skills to take on business focused roles within a variety of industries and organizations, especially if their career goals are aligned to the management track.
“This new pathway expands learning opportunities for engineering students from the BTech program to complement their engineering knowledge with managerial education,” says Khaled Hassanein, Dean of the DeGroote School of Business.
“It complements the interesting dynamic in our MBA classroom that we have built over the years and furthers our long-standing partnership between the faculties of Business and Engineering under the Engineering and Management Program.”
“As an engineer with an MBA, I understand the importance of bringing different backgrounds and perspectives into the learning environment and this new opportunity for McMaster students truly highlights the collaborative and complementary nature of our programs.”
The new pathway is a welcome opportunity for BTech students aiming to broaden their business skills while continuing their educational journey at McMaster, says Dean of Engineering Heather Sheardown.
“It’s a compelling testament to the value of the BTech program in positioning students with a strong foundation for a future in business leadership.”
The MBA designation from the DeGroote School of Business not only adds weight to undergraduate credentials but also signifies a commitment to advancing expertise in business. This combination of technical proficiency and business acumen positions graduates as highly desirable candidates in industry.
