STEM MBA programs are increasingly popular, offering benefits to both domestic and international students. Here are the top US MBA programs with STEM designations.

Stanford Graduate School of Business

Stanford’s entire full-time MBA program is STEM designated, as is their accelerated one-year MSx program which aims at mid-career experienced professionals.

Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University

Tepper announced in December 2019 that its full time MBA program is STEM designated.
