In this live 60-minute masterclass, How to Get Ahead of MBA Recruiting Now, we’ll walk through the four biggest mistakes incoming MBAs make and how to avoid them so you’re not scrambling to catch up once recruiting begins.
Top STEM MBA Programs
In big part for my own sake to keep track of all the MBA programs that have recently been STEM-designated and STEM-certified, I wanted to put together a master list with links to confirming the designation/requirements that students may have. Keep in mind that a number of programs (almost all) allows to take extra classes and get an extra MS degree to receive the STEM certification but often that requires an extra year and cost. In these cases, the MBA programs alone are sufficient to provide you with the STEM designation.

Why is STEM Important?
STEM designation is really only important to international applicants who are subject to work permit requirements and would need an H1B to stay in the United States after their OPT (Optional Practical Training) expires. STEM allows applicants to get a 3-year OPT instead of the 1-Year which in turn allows a much longer time-frame to find a job and provide applicants with 4 opportunities to get an H1B instead of just 2, so it doubles the chances and buys time in other words.Helpful Links & Resources:
