3. Approval from the BSIE program director or faculty/administrator designee of the IE department is required.Students admitted to the dual program track must apply for formal admission to the MBA program after completing the first semester of their senior year.

Admission decisions for the MBA program will be based on a holistic review of the candidate’s qualifications looking at the following criteria:

1. Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA
2. GMAT or GRE scores
3. 2 or more years full-time professional work experience or completion of three summer internships by the end of the senior year

Students approved for the dual program track are allowed to take two MBA core courses during their senior year to double count toward both degrees. See https://www.ie.uh.edu/undergraduate/bsie-mba for details.
