You chose engineering because you love solving problems, thinking analytically, and building things that matter. You worked hard through tough classes, group projects, and late nights in the lab. Maybe you’ve just finished your degree or you're getting close.
So what’s next?
Some of your classmates are going into technical roles. Others are thinking about grad school to specialize even more.
But there’s another option that more and more engineers are exploring especially those who want to lead, innovate, and create something of their own.
That option is a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at RPI’s Lally School of Management is built for students just like you.
