The Integrated Business Engineering major is a partnership between the Eller College of Management and the College of Engineering. New students will be admitted to the IBE major beginning in Fall 2026, with the cohort of students graduating in Spring 2030. New IBE courses are being developed and will be offered in future semesters, as noted below. The new IBE courses and curriculum are subject to change as we continue to develop the major.
This sample plan is based on 14-17 credits per semester, but each student and their academic plan is unique. Please meet with your Academic Advisor to create a custom plan for you. Please note that your General Education requirements, including second language, are determined by when you were admitted to the university. Your Academic Advisor can help you navigate the requirements relevant for you. For a full list of official degree requirements, check out the University General Catalog.
