UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Business success in the 21st
century is increasingly dependent on the strategic development and
utilization of technology. This is a complex challenge since the
solutions to many business problems rely on the convergence of a
number of technologies and their proper alignment with customer
requirements and various other business elements.
To meet this challenge, The Wesley J. Howe
School of Technology Management at Stevens has designed a unique
undergraduate program, specifically designed to teach students
both business and technology in an integrated fashion. The Business and
Technology program combines a traditional business curriculum with the most
recent elements of technology to satisfy the growing corporate
demand for professionals who are effective as liaisons between
business and technology units. The innovative "corporate-defined"
curriculum of this bachelor’s degree program has a strong, broad
base of computer science, science, economics, finance, marketing and
mathematics, plus a business plan spine.
Since this is a lock-step program,
all courses for the business program need to be taken in the proper
sequence. In addition, it is anticipated that students participate
in an internship, ideally at the same company during each of the
summers between their academic years. These internships typically
form the basis for their final business plan, required for BT

departments:
Internship/Electives
Seniors may select to do an internship at
their Curriculum Partner Company for 2.5 days a week for the entire
semester. A company manager and a Stevens faculty member supervise
them. The internships culminate in written and oral reports
delivered to representatives from the companies, Stevens faculty and
other students in the class. Projects are selected by the company
and approved by Stevens faculty. Intern projects must contain some
significant creativity or development component. Credit
for approved internships is variable.
Alternatively, during the senior year
students may select up to three electives (9 credits) within a
chosen area of interest and write a proposal to conduct an
independent study that leads to a senior thesis. The student must
convince a faculty member of the importance of the subject and
convince that faculty member to act as a thesis
advisor.
Areas of consideration might include
Biomedical Products and Technology, Entrepreneurship, E-business,
Technology Marketing, Financial Services, Information and Network
Systems, etc.
