STEM and Double Degrees - MS in Innovation & Entrepreneurship

The Master of Science in Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MSIE) offers STEM courses as part of its curriculum. STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — courses keep you up to date with the latest advances in science and technology. Demonstrating these sought-after skills to employers can help you create a flexible and versatile career path with highly compensated, in-demand jobs.

You may also choose to pursue a second master’s degree or an MBA degree at the same time as your MSIE, which could add a STEM- or non-STEM-designated master’s to your résumé.

What MSIE courses are STEM-designated?

Entrepreneurship courses offered in STEM degree programs are considered STEM courses. These include:

ENTP 6375 (cross-listed with SYSM, OPRE, and ITM)
ENTP 6388 (cross-listed with SYSM)
ENTP 6398 (cross-listed with SYSM)

Double Degree Programs and MS Degree Combinations

The versatility of the MSIE degree helps students pursue double graduate business degrees or MS degree combinations if desired. Students wanting a STEM degree may wish to consider pairing the MSIE (non-STEM) degree with a MS STEM program to support three years of study at UT Dallas.

The double degree program allows students to potentially share coursework between the two degrees. To enter a double degree program and take advantage of possible time and tuition benefits, students must apply to and be accepted by both programs.

What are some examples of Double Degrees and MS Degree Combinations?

MSIE and MS Management Science (STEM-designated)
MSIE and MS IT Management (STEM-designated)
MSIE and MS Supply Chain Management (STEM-designated)

Mark Kukiz, MS 19

Product Manager, Peloton

The Professional MBA at UT Dallas provided the flexibility for a tailor-made education with subjects I am most passionate about. The MS in Innovation and Entrepreneurship curriculum enhanced my MBA through practical undertakings in both startup and corporate intrapreneurship settings. The cohort program was a differentiator, enabling the collaborative, in-person experience I was looking for.

James Ramsey, MS 19

I enrolled in the Master of Science degree program in Innovation & Entrepreneurship right after leaving Xerox Corporation in late 2017. I found the UT Dallas courses extremely interesting, and JSOM has assembled a great team of instructors that bring both academic and real-world credentials and experiences.

Chris Bagwell, MS 19

Senior Business Analyst, Pizza Hut

The Master’s in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is more than an education in how to start a business. The program’s excellent professors bring a wealth of experience and a vast network to give you real-world insight that you can’t find in a textbook. Not only has the MSIE program given me the necessary technical skills to start a business, but it has also introduced me to experienced professionals who have shared decades’ worth of lessons learned.
