DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS

Master of Environment and Natural Resources / MBA

The Master of Environment and Natural Resources is a well recognized program among federal and state agencies as well as conversation agencies that are major employers of natural resources professionals. The addidition of the MBA degree provides a complementary element to prepare students for careers in business organizations for which environmental issues are special concerns.

Admissions

Applicants to the MENR / MBA Program must complete the application requirements of both Fisher College of Business and the School of Environment and Natural Resources separately, applying independently to each school. In order to enter the combined MENR / MBA program, students should indicate to both program offices their intent to study in the dual degree program.

An applicant who is admitted to only one degree program may elect to pursue that particular degree separate from the dual degree program format. Further, while it is possible after beginning either program to apply for admission to the other, this may not permit the usual dual degree schedule efficiencies.

Both colleges have small classes and start in the fall of each calendar year. For both programs, it is in an applicant's best interest to submit application materials early.

Curriculum

Students admitted to the dual degree program may pursue the MENR / MBA according to this schedule:

The dual MENR/MBA degree requires the student to complete a minimum of 78 credit hours. Twelve hours of MBA electives come from MENR courses and six hours of of MENR electives come from the MBA. In the dual degree, this constitutes a savings of 18 hours from the overlap in the requiements of the two programs.

In addition to the more than 300 companies that recruit from Fisher's Office of Career Management, a wide array of firms and corporations resulting in a nearly 100% placement rate at graduation.
