Integrated Business & Engineering IUT Information
Integrated Business and Engineering IUT Information
The Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) program is a four-year undergraduate degree offered by Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s Leeds School of Business in collaboration with the College of Engineering and Applied Science. IBE is a small, cohort-based program that requires four years to complete.
Before You Apply
Please note: IBE is a small, cohort-based program with 40 students admitted to each entering class. Because the cohort is intentionally limited in size, space for intra-university transfer students is extremely limited and may only become available if a current student leaves the program. Meeting all IUT eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission.
Students interested in transferring to IBE should maintain a parallel academic plan in case space is not available. Because IBE is a four-year program, students who do not meet the IUT requirements by the end of their first year will be off track for completing the program and should consider other academic opportunities.
