The online Stevens MBA prepares you to lead conversations about how technology creates strategic advantage for the business.

Few MBA programs consider how rapidly the data revolution has changed the ways managers recognize opportunities and identify trends. The Stevens MBA is taught by faculty who understand the traditional managerial toolkit — marketing, strategy and finance — must be complemented by skills in technology and analytics to create success.

Your courses will feature applied exercises that prepare you to be a leader who is capable of making fast, data-supported decisions. Coursework emphasizes collaboration through group projects and presentations, and develops your creativity and critical thinking skills through the incorporation of new analytical tools and the latest research insights.
