The four MBA programs at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School have been awarded STEM designation.
“This change reflects the analytical rigor of our MBA programs, which have long developed business leaders and today – more than ever before – need to be ready to apply their analytics skills to make data-driven strategic decisions,” said Brad Staats. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (PRWEB) February 24, 2021
All MBA students in all four programs will now graduate with a STEM-designated degree.
The four MBA programs received the STEM designation after the UNC System reviewed and approved UNC Kenan-Flagler’s request to change the program’s classification using the Instructional Program (CIP) code of the National Education Statistics.
A room on the first floor of the building that houses Carolina’s sociology department has an especially meaningful decorative touch. This room’s crowded “wall of fame” features framed portraits of each sociology faculty member who has served as the president of the discipline’s most prestigious organizations, including the American Sociological Association, the Southern Sociological Society and the Population Association of America.
“It fills the length of one wall,” said Charles Kurzman, Philip Stadter Distinguished Professor of Sociology. “It’s very impressive.”
As often as national organizations tap sociology faculty members as leaders, the University turns to the department to head centers and institutes, serve as administrators and lead campus-wide initiatives, Kurzman added. “I don’t know of any department that has a broad array of University leadership roles as our department does.”
