STEM Path to MBA Offers Top Students Shorter Degree Path
Forty-six of the country's brightest students are registered at The University of Alabama this fall for a course of study that will allow them to combine their strengths in science, technology, engineering or math with their interests in business and complete their undergraduate studies and earn a master's degree in business administration in five years.
"The future economic success of the United States depends in large measure on our ability to excel in technology-oriented businesses," said Dr. Rob Morgan, executive director for Innovation Initiatives in UA's Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration.
"Science, technology, engineering and mathematic disciplines drive our innovation and competitiveness," Morgan said. "In a knowledge-based economy such as ours, those areas are where new ideas are being generated and new companies and industries are being formed. But, the people generating those ideas and forming those new companies have a much greater chance for success when they add a business component to their education, and that is where our STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) path to the MBA comes in."
