Science and Technology Management Degree Information
The Science and Technology Management Program is a rigorous and challenging degree plan that satisfies industry's demand for technologically savvy business graduates who have backgrounds in engineering. In the STM Program, students take engineering, math, and science classes while working toward a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. STM students develop a broad strategic perspective of business principles and acquire a solid command of the technical fundamentals of engineering. The combination of engineering and business culminates in students leaving the program well prepared for success in managing highly technical business environments.
Is the Science and Technology Management degree right for you? Students who enjoy high-tech environments and want an edge in obtaining jobs in technical or consulting industries (semiconductor, management information systems, aerospace, automotive) will benefit from the STM program. STM graduates are in high demand for careers like financial management in technology firms, consulting in MIS/business/strategy, and program managers in technical firms (including project/procurement managers in the supply chain space), as well as an emerging field of quantitative analysts in investment banks. Companies who have hired students from the program include Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deloitte, Intel, Shell, Target and Texas Instruments.
