Backstage with Poets&Quants: A STEM MBA Admissions Event is for prospective students interested in exploring the advantages of an MBA with a STEM designation and getting an in-depth look inside the admissions process at top programs.

A STEM MBA shows that students know how to combine their technical, practical, and educational experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics with the business and leadership skills offered by a traditional MBA. STEM-designated MBA programs are the most important evolution in business school curricula in a generation, appealing particularly to international graduates, who qualify for up to 36 months’ work in the United States post-graduation with a STEM degree (versus only a year with a traditional MBA). 

Through a series of panels, interviews, and small-group chats, participants will get real insights and advice to help with their application decision-making process. At Backstage with Poets&Quants: A STEM MBA Admissions Event, you will:

• Hear from Admissions Directors about what they look for in candidates and how you can stand out above the crowd;

• Learn the benefits of a STEM degree, including program requirements;

• Engage with Career Services teams to learn about career prospects and how you can translate your degree into your dream job;

• Hear from alumni on how they translated their degree into a fulfilling career.

This event will help demystify STEM-designated MBA programs for the curious applicant and help you find the right fit. Map your way to admissions into a top STEM MBA. Come Backstage with Poets&Quants!
