Pursuing STEM designation signals quantitative rigor to future employers and allows international students the opportunity to extend Optional Practical Training (OPT).

Pricing
Simon was the first business school to offer a specialized pricing track within the MBA program. Today we are one of just two US business schools to offer a pricing program. As part of our consulting courses, students earn comprehensive, state-of-the-art training in pricing theory and techniques. Our MBA graduates are well-equipped to pursue strategic consulting opportunities related to pricing and make an immediate impact on their company’s bottom line.
Founded in 2007, Simon’s Center for Pricing built a platform for meaningful interaction between business executives, educators, and researchers. Simon also enjoys an exclusive relationship with the Professional Pricing Society (PPS), which serves thousands of members representing all leading industries and over 50 countries. As a result of this relationship, Simon students have exclusive invitations to the PPS annual conference, which provides exposure to industry executives.

The technology specialization of our Consulting MBA examines leading approaches for the design and development of effective business processes that leverage information technology. It also emphasizes the business issues that arise in choosing information technologies, designing information processes for the effectiveness of specific applications, and using enterprise information technology for gaining competitive benefits. Throughout your technology consulting courses, you’ll learn how to analyze the fundamental subjects of business information and decision processes in organizations as well as the resulting economic and technological trade-offs.
A technical background prior to entering the MBA program is not a prerequisite to success in Simon’s technology consulting track.
