<p>I recently graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry and I'm interested in managing companies such as pharmaceutical companies and I was planning to get an MHA but one of the advisors told me about a program called STEM MBA. </p>
<p>I can't find information about this program on the internet. The advisor said this would suit me better since I come from a Science background. </p>
<p>What is a STEM MBA? </p>
<p>What can you do wit it? </p>
<p>Financially? </p>
<p>MBA vs STEM MBA?</p>
<p>It’s a combination program, offered by some schools, that integrates an undergrad STEM degree with an MBA in 5 years. For example, an engineering major takes some of the MBA classes during the undergrad years, then completes the MBA in just one more year.</p>
<p>What can you do with it? Well, you now have a science degree and an MBA. Not sure how valuable that MBA is without any work experience. Financially? Cuts one year off grad school. You already graduated, so a STEM MBA program does not apply for you. If your goal is to manage companies such as pharmaceuticals, you first need to be hired by one. Then you need to get some experience. No company will hire someone as a manager right out of school, no matter what degrees they hold.</p>
<p>My plan is to manage high tech companies in the future but I don’t have any background in business. I know I need experience before I can do that but I want to get this STEM MBA to start working my way up to my goal. With my degree in Chemistry I cannot even start getting involve in managing companies.</p>
<p>Would you recommend getting this STEM MBA in order to start working on my goal?</p>
<p>Texas Tech University just started to offer this program this year and is not a combined program; the Masters in one year long but it doesn’t include an internship as other programs I’ve seen out of Texas. So, I’m worry how would I start to get experience on this field.</p>
