A Groundbreaking Business Education

Think of the most cutting-edge and successful businesses today. Who are they? Facebook, Google, Apple - they all rely on technology to drive their performance. And it isn't just the new-generation companies. Even the gold-standard investment bank Goldman Sachs invests the majority of its budget in technology.

Stevens' business programs offer a groundbreaking approach to your education, preparing you to be a leader in the intersecting worlds of business and technology. Consistent with other elite business programs, you will take a Business Core, which includes courses in classical business disciplines (for example, finance and marketing) as well as a business concentration in one of those disciplines. A key differentiator for Stevens' business programs is that technology is at the core of every one of our business programs.

A substantial part of your coursework will be focused on helping you understand the "big picture" - how the various facets of business and technology fit together.

Stevens' business students train to become well-rounded professionals ready to tackle today's complex and highly technical business challenges. They regularly land highly paid internships and full-time jobs at top firms.

The coursework for the Business & Technology major combines a focus on providing students strong technical expertise and a entrepreneurial mindset. The curriculum features four primary components: the Business Core, the Liberal Arts & Science Core, The Business & Technology Major, and the Practice Core. All students who major in Business & Technology will take major coursework comprised of 2 concentrations – a business concentration and a technology concentration.

The marketing major provides the most sophisticated tools and approaches to help prepare students for a marketing career.

Quantitative Finance

Stevens Institute of Technology offers one of the  first four-year undergraduate program of its kind, in Quantitative Finance.   B.S. in Quantitative Finance provides students with the skill levels equivalent to what would be expected from the graduate of a premier masters degree program in financial engineering.  A relatively young field, Quantitative Finance is just 10-15 years old and until now has been offered exclusively at the Master’s and PhD level. Stevens’ revolutionary undergraduate program is designed specifically for students wishing to apply scientific and engineering methods and techniques to transform financial markets. Applications of Quantitative Finance include:

• The use of mathematical models to support more accurate asset pricing
• Stock selection, asset allocation and investment portfolio analysis
• Computerized trading to replace the traditional “trading pit”
• The quantification of statistical parameters, such as volatility and correlation of returns, leading to new ways to assess risk and design effective hedging strategies

Graduates of the Quantitative Finance Program are prepared for such leading-edge roles as trading assistants, risk managers or analysts.

Minors

Minors are also available to non-business majors in the following areas:

• Economics
• Entrepreneurship
