In the current business climate, where technology increasingly influences decision-making and processes, Weatherhead introduces a new MBA STEM track -- positioning graduates for high-demand jobs that bridge analytics, technology and business. For those international students choosing to pursue a STEM-track degree, this is another degree option where they can extend their training in the U.S. for a total of three years without obtaining a work visa (H1-B). *
With this new MBA option, graduates benefit from Weatherhead’s comprehensive MBA approach while developing specific knowledge essential for a career in leadership. Designed with a strong management core, STEM MBA electives are offered in Corporate Finance, Business Analytics and Operations. Courses include Quantitative Risk Modeling, Advanced Marketing Analytics, Six Sigma and Quality Management Predictive Modeling and Artificial Intelligence.
The MBA STEM-track is one of several STEM-tracks open to Weatherhead students. Earlier this year we added the STEM-track in Accounting, which joins current tracks in Business Analytics, Finance, and Operations Research and Supply Chain degree programs.
