Integrated Business and Engineering
Get the best of both worlds—technical skills and business knowledge. Learn to solve real-world problems, lead teams, and make smart decisions that prepare you for success across industries.
About Our Integrated Business and Engineering Major
Coursework includes classes in business, engineering, math, science, and general education to give you a well-rounded education. You’ll learn from dedicated faculty in both the College of Business and the College of Engineering, in the classroom and through hands-on experiences.
Students can earn up to two minors—one in engineering (mechanical or electrical) and one in business (business analytics, entrepreneurship, human resources, marketing, project management or supply chain and logistics management).
Merging Business and Technology – For Your Future
At Valpo, we prepare students for both personal, as well as professional, success. Our undergraduate business program uses a three-pronged approach:
General Education arts and sciences courses: this University-wide core strengthens your business communication and critical thinking skills while introducing you to global cultures.
Engineering courses: this block of critical engineering courses gives you an overview of the process and technology of engineering
Business courses: this block of core courses gives you an overview of critical business principles and tools
The BSIBE program requires a real-world application of your new skills through an Internship or Cooperative Education placement. In addition, during the senior year, each student participates in an integrative capstone course that focuses on policy determination while examining ethical and social issues that confront modern business organizations.
