BBA to Engineering... Is this possible?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted some advice if you had a moment. Would really appreciate any responses I get.

I'm a junior BBA at the Ross School of Business. I'm carrying around a 3.6, EC's not great, decent internship experience in finance, operations, marketing. I've been actively recruiting and networking for IB summer positions. Did the whole OCR thing. Still waiting to hear from some superdays/interviews/leads. Having a bit of a change of thought in terms of career path.

Math and Science were always my best courses in high school... I attended an extremely rigorous private school and did very well. I did not do well in social sciences. Growing up, I aspired to be an astronaut. I've lately thought that aerospace engineering might be a more rewarding career path for me, due to my skills and interests. I'm starting to question my decision to do undergrad business (though I am fortunate to have been accepted into such a well-respected program).

I feel like it's too late to even consider trying to get a bachelors degree from the CoE here at Michigan. I would have to take all of the prereq's, probably retake Calc 2 because I forgot everything, and balance Ross courses on top of that.

If any of you have any words of advice or suggestions, I would really appreciate your time in responding to my post.

 

These are the things you have to consider.

1) Are you acing the classes in the business school easily? Because the engineering classes will take 5x as much of your time and effort.

2) Can you easily reteach yourself calculus that you've already learned?

If you can answer yes to both of those questions, then it might not be entirely inadvisable to pursue a degree in the CoE. However, if you find the business school classes challenging already, taking engineering classes on top of them would probably be terrible.
