The Applied Engineering Sciences (AES) major is an undergraduate B.S. degree program in the MSU College of Engineering. AES is a multidisciplinary program that integrates core studies in mathematics, statistics, and science, core studies in multiple engineering disciplines, and core studies in business fundamentals and management. Built on this strong technical and business base, an AES student completes their studies by selecting one of six concentration areas: business analytics, business law, computer science, packaging, supply chain management, or technical sales.
AES is focused on developing strong problem solvers who have good people skills, and who bring to their workplace an integrated approach to understanding and managing complex business and engineered systems. More specifically, the AES program objectives are for each AES graduate to have the ability to:

Applied Engineering Sciences (AES) major is an undergraduate interdisciplinary program that combines scientific and technical coursework with a business complement and a required concentration resulting in a Bachelor of Science degree awarded by the College of Engineering. The major provides educational opportunities for students who wish to gain a broad foundation in the engineering science, core engineering disciplines, business fundamentals and their application to one of the required concentrations: Business Analytics with Data Science minor, Business Law, Computer Science, Packaging, Supply Chain Management or Technical Sales.
A number of MSU graduate level education options complement an AES degree nicely, including:
Other common graduate degrees for students to pursue are International Business, Packaging, Engineering Management.
We also have a cooperative relationship with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Master's program in Supply Chain Management and award scholarships to outstanding AES MSU graduates with concentration in Supply Chain Management. Contact us for more information.
