STEM path helps students work towards MBA

By Associated Engineering Press

Students with a clear focus on their learning path now have the chance to finish both their undergraduate and master’s degrees in less than the traditional six years through the science, technology, engineering and mathematics path to the MBA in the Capstone’s Culverhouse College of Commerce.

Created by Rob Morgan and Michael Hardin, the STEM path is designed to give students majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics the option of completing their MBA in just one year of graduate study by utilizing nontraditional educational methods.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
