Hi, are you guys aware if the full time MBA program at Carlson is STEM designated or if there are electives one can take to make it STEM? Want to know thoughts from intl students who've gotten admits on what they think about the importance of having a STEM designation. Posted from my mobile device

chaoticTwist , Hi Full Time MBA of Carlson is not STEM designated as of now. If you want STEM designated MBA from Carlson then you need to choose Full Time MBA - Management Science chaoticTwist , Refer: https://carlsonschool.umn.edu/degrees/m ... l-time-mba

smls it would be a bit harder to choose now, I already have gotten an admit to FT-MBA . Wanted to know what admitted folks think is the importance of having a STEM designation to them, especially around getting jobs.

chaoticTwist , Oh. I thought you are planning to apply. I do remember in one of a event with adcom wherein they said that once a applicant gets selected to FT MBA they cannot swap to MBA Management Science. I purpousefully asked this becuase initailly i choose FT MBA as i was not aware of the difference. Then i started a new application for the STEM MBA. As applicant can submit only one application, i submitted only the STEM MBA and not the FT MBA. Regarding swapping to STEM MBA from FT Time, i have limted to nil knowledge and i would advise you to contact the Adcom at the earliest chaoticTwist , And did you get any scholarship? If so may i know how much? chaoticTwist , And Congrats on your admit!

smls , thanks! Yes I got a 100% tuition waiver (50k +50k) Now wondering whether it's worth going without a STEM designation.

That’s really great! Congratulations! You may reach out to the adcoms to see the possibilities. Do keep us posted!

Oh my god. I didn’t even know I made this mistake. Did anybody else make it? I’m going to reach out to the admissions team and see if anything can be done
