The four-year, STEM-certified BS in Business, Technology and Entrepreneurship (BTE) program is the first U.S. undergraduate business program of its kind to seamlessly integrate business, technology and entrepreneurship. It will reside in Stern’s Undergraduate College and will enroll its inaugural class of 30 to 50 undergraduate business students in August 2021. Stern’s Undergraduate College is ranked in the top five by both US News & World Report and Poets & Quants.
“These past few months alone have proven unequivocally that there is an urgent need for agile, entrepreneurial problem-solvers who understand technology deeply and who can adapt and innovate swiftly in the midst of uncertainty and rapidly changing conditions,” said Raghu Sundaram, Dean, NYU Stern. “This unique program will deliver an integrated and cutting-edge approach to teaching to cultivate these essential qualities in the next generation of college graduates.”

The BTE program builds upon Stern’s robust footprint in the technology and entrepreneurship arena. In 2018 Stern welcomed the first class of its novel STEM-designated Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA. This past May, the School’s nine-month Endless Frontier Labs, a program for the most promising early-stage science and technology-based startups worldwide, graduated its first cohort. In the Undergraduate College alone, the Computing and Data Science concentration is already the second most popular among students behind finance, and the percentage who minored in Computer Science doubled over the past five years.
“In designing this program with our faculty and with input from the business community, there is no question that this is the degree of our time – an undergraduate program that is deeply connected to the New York City tech ecosystem and that is built for the future of business,” said Robert Whitelaw, Vice Dean of Stern’s Undergraduate College. “BTE graduates will be well positioned to take on business and technology roles at both large and small technology companies, consulting firms and banks, and others may choose to start their own ventures.”
