The STEM MBA is a graduate degree that combines the traditional MBA curriculum with a STEM-related discipline. Franklin’s STEM MBA is a theory-to-practice program that combines foundational knowledge of business and leadership alongside skills in business analytics and data analytics. 

With an MBA in STEM, you’ll gain in-demand business and management skills, combined with leading edge analytics skills that will qualify you to lead and work in a variety of roles including technology consultant, decision scientist and business intelligence manager.

With an online STEM MBA, you'll build your knowledge in essential areas of business while gaining in-demand skills in data analytics to make you a better, more informed decision maker - and therefore a more effective leader. An MBA, like Franklin’s STEM-designated program, is a degree universally recognized for advanced business knowledge, while the STEM component provides applied knowledge in analytics, data visualization and reporting, Big Data and data mining, database management and business analytics strategy.

Franklin’s MBA STEM program can be completed  in 18 months 100% online or through a combination of online and on campus classes. Created with input from industry experts, Franklin’s theory-to-practice program combines real-world simulations and case studies in courses taught by in-field practitioners.
