By adding STEM designations for the MBA concentrations in finance, marketing, and analytics, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆDolan diversifies the program as a whole.
The conclusion of the fall semester marked a significant milestone for the Charles F. Dolan School of Business as the MBA program concentrations of finance, marketing, and analytics received official STEM designation. Having received university-wide approval, this designation ultimately diversifies the program itself to best prepare students for the evolving industry needs of business professionals.
STEM designation creates opportunities for international students at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆDolan to benefit from a three-year post-graduate U.S. residency window to experience optional practical training (OPT), which differs from the brief one-year visa extension for OPT that is typically offered to students. As stated by associate professor and MBA program director Mousumi Bose Godbole, PhD, STEM designation makes Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆDolan’s MBA program competitive and enriched with benefits for prospective students.
“A customizable curriculum, cutting-edge education, flexible course schedule, highly ranked concentrations, and the ability to utilize the benefits of OPT, make our MBA attractive to international students,” said Dr. Bose Godbole.
