WSJ posted an article today about STEM MBA programs (may require a subscription)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/m-b-a-prog ... 1580898601

Though it did not really have any great new insights about STEM, it did have a bit of stats and info:
Quote:
About one-quarter of the roughly 800 U.S. business-school programs tracked by GMAC in 2019 reported themselves as STEM-certified. Last year those programs were more likely to have expanded their pool of international applicants, with 43% of STEM-certified programs reporting more foreign applications than the prior year, compared with 26% of non-STEM business programs.

Thank you. I have updated the list ot include Columbia.

I have not heard about the IBEAR. (Sloan FT and it appears Fellows are both supposed to be STEM per a forum post though there is no official confirmation https://gmatclub.com/forum/mit-sloan-mb ... 13248.html)

We can ask Hadamard about what they are hearing on MSx and STEM.

Stanford MBA STEM classification is in progress, but not sure if STEM is a good fit for MSx.

Stanford would have to reduce electives and increase quant courses for MSx program to classify it as STEM, which is not appealing to everyone. MSx cohort is more experienced so we care more about electives, industry-specific deep dives, and soft-skills rather than how to calculate quant stuff.

Thanks so much for your input. Most BSchools have skirted the issues you brought up by offering a STEM track that those interested could pursue without impacting the base of the students. But sounds like there may not be enough overall demand to warrant a big effort.

PS. I feel eventually all MBA degrees will have a STEM track/option.

Even though it's a joint degree program, I would add Kellogg MMM to the list. This is a good pathway for STEM for MBA students, especially inventors, entrepreneurs, innovators. The MS in Design creates the eligibility for STEM and 2 more years of OPT.
