What are the benefits of the Engineering Global Leadership Honors Program?

The Engineering Global Leadership Honors Program (EGL) combines a traditional engineering undergraduate curriculum with a core of courses in the Ross School of Business and a cultural core in the College of Literature, Science and Arts. The EGL Honors Program leads to a Bachelor's and Master's degree in engineering.

Employers tell us that the inability of many professionals to communicate across cultures and across the engineering and business boundary is one of the greatest barriers to global competitiveness. The EGL Honors program prepares students to bridge these gaps. The business core covers the rudiments of marketing, accounting, and finance, and the cultural core exposes students to the language, history and customs of a student-selected region of the world. The success of EGL graduates confirms that this training is in high demand.

EGL students are also required to complete a synthesis team project that provides them an opportunity to place their learning in an industry context, apply their technical knowledge in the field, and develop their teamwork skills.

Applications now accepted from students in every engineering discipline.
