Students eligible for $1,000 or more in Texas Tech competitive scholarships to receive in-state tuition One-year program MBA designed for students with a STEM background
Overview In response to industry demand for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) leaders with a strong STEM foundation, the Rawls College of Business offers a one-year STEM MBA program; the first of its kind in Texas. The program focuses on the competencies STEM students need to increase their marketability and gain leadership and business acumen. Students pursing a STEM MBA must have a background in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. As a general business master’s degree with an emphasis on STEM applications, the program complements STEM students’ technical backgrounds while also providing the business skills needed to be successful in management and leadership roles. Unlike other MBA programs, the program utilizes STEM-related examples and case studies, as well as electives that are specific to STEM professions. In addition to those electives, courses include accounting, finance, economics, law, marketing, management, statistics, and strategy. Three cohorts are admitted to the STEM MBA program each calendar year. Throughout the program, students remain in classes with their initial cohort, allowing for strong working relationships and friendships to develop. This program does not qualify for a STEM OPT designation.
