In a word: YES. More specifically, think about this: The world’s most famous technology entrepreneurs — Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, the Google founders — didn’t transform computing by playing it safe. Neither should you.
A business education at Stevens addresses the most pressing need in industry today: bold, transformational, globally-minded leaders who are equally comfortable in the world of business and the realm of science and technology. The curriculum and faculty you’ll find at Stevens is innovative. In today’s business climate, it has to be.
Like other business schools, you will take courses in all the business core disciplines (for example, finance, accounting, marketing, international business) and have the opportunity to concentrate in a particular business area. What differentiates Stevens' program is that the curriculum also includes a heavy emphasis on cutting-edge technology and how it can be leveraged in the business arena.
Another unique and valuable feature is a required eight-course sequence of strategic business and business-technology integrators designed to teach students how to synthesize their business and technology core and concentration courses. Together with the senior design sequence, where you’ll serve as the business expert on a team of students within your technology concentration, these integrators propel you far ahead graduates of traditional business schools. And we mean far ahead: the average starting salary for a Stevens business graduate is 22% higher than the national average.
You will learn from faculty members and guest lecturers from industry who have spent many years working as CEOs, marketing executives, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists, and who are eager to share their experiences with you.
In keeping with Technogenesis, Stevens' novel educational approach, many of our business students partner with engineering and science students to help bring their new technologies to the public. Through internships and collaborative projects, you will learn how to put your progressive thoughts into action.
Business minors are also offered in the areas of Finance, Marketing, International Business, Economics, and Entrepreneurship.
