Business Administration, B.S.

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.B.A.) program prepares aspiring business leaders for success in an evolving, uncertain, and dynamic business environment. Our curriculum is driven by the concept that technology is transformational, the business world is globalized, and both qualities jointly impact the ability of those with entrepreneurial inclinations to create and implement new, innovative business models. Such emphasis ensures that graduates are ready to add value and change the face of the business landscape when they enter the workforce.

In addition to program curriculum requirements, all students must satisfy the professional enrichment, experiential education, and community impact components of the BUSI 495 course in the core. Students should consult with their academic advisor to better understand these platforms. All students must also register for and complete BUSI 100 School of Management orientation during their first semester of study. This zero-credit-hour requirement ensures that all students are familiarized with the school's processes, requirements, and other orientation-specific items that lead to student success. The course, offered as pass/fail, must be completed in partial fulfillment of B.S.B.A. requirements and cannot be waived.

Program Features

• Significant elements of globalization and its impact on business is part of the business core through International Business (MGMT 235). Additionally, this is addressed in each concentration, where a domain-specific, global-intensive course is required, and also in each course, where the Master Syllabus contains a contextualized learning goal and student-learning outcome that speaks to either the impact that globalization has had on business within the context of the course or specific localized elements of the course relevant to the community.
• The completion of a capstone course in the business program core. The B.S.B.A. program core capstone course (BUSI 435) unifies much of the educational experience and ensures domain integration across the functional areas of business.
• The learning goals of the school's academic programs, concentrations, and courses are grounded in Bloom's taxonomy, an established best practice in pedagogy. In this way, the school ensures that students not only gain knowledge and develop understanding, but are able to apply this knowledge, conduct relevant analysis, synthesize multiple domains and information, and evaluate alternatives in support of effective decision making.
• All students are required to participate in the Career Building Platform, encompassing Professional Enrichment, Experiential Education, and Community Impact programs. These co-curricular platforms guarantee students exposure to professionals through seminars and workshops, hands-on learning through mandatory educational experiences that apply classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios, and active engagement with peers, faculty, community members, and professionals. These enriching, co-curricular activities are offered over the course of a student's time on campus and are tracked throughout this time. In the final semester, students register for the BUSI 495 Career Building Platform course to review their participation.

B.S.B.A. Programmatic Learning Goals

Upon graduation from the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program, students demonstrate attainment of programmatic learning goals. The degree of attainment realized is a shared and collaborative responsibility that engages students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholder groups, working together to maximize students' opportunities to be successful.

Programmatic learning goals are partitioned into two categories: general learning goals, and management-specific learning goals. The former are considered transferable and have relevancy across all disciplines of study, both in business and outside of business. These goals are also in support of the general education learning goals. The latter, which are management-specific, speak to those issues that impact success in the business environment.

School of Management B.S.B.A. Academic Policies and Standards

School of Management academic policies are in addition to New York Institute of Technology academic policies and standards.

1. At least 50 percent of the total credit hours in all traditional business subjects required for the B.S.B.A. must be completed in the School of Management (business credit hours exclude certain courses in economics and statistics). This implies that:
   • At least 27 credit hours of the 51-credit-hour business program core and the concentration in the B.S.B.A. program must be earned at NYIT School of Management.
   • At least 30 credit hours of the 60 credit hours of traditional business subjects counted toward the B.S.B.A. requirements must be earned at NYIT School of Management.
2. No course credit for coursework completed at a community/two-year institution may be applied to, or transferred as, a 300- or 400-level business course
3. Any 300- or 400-level business course taken at another institution is transferable into the B.S.B.A. curriculum only if the credit hours have been earned from a licensed AACSB accredited four-year degree-granting institution

Master of Business Administration, M.B.A.

In the spirit of New York Institute of Technology's identity as a Polytechnic++, the School of Management's transformational M.B.A. program reflects a best-practices approach to quality management education with an emphasis on technology, critical thinking, and leadership development. Reflective of MiM (Master's in Management) programs prevalent in Europe, Asia, and Australia, as well as those of leading U.S. business schools, the School of Management's M.B.A. program provides a cutting-edge learning experience that rivals those of the world's most innovative business schools. Primarily targeting pre-experience, aspiring young professionals and students from diverse international and academic backgrounds, the program prepares students for leadership roles. The program's unique features include:

• Comprehensive Assessment and Mission-Driven Admissions Standards: The M.B.A. program admissions criteria, in keeping with New York Tech's mission to provide all qualified students access to opportunity, does not require the GMAT. However, the school's comprehensive assessment system ensures that all students are progressing through the academic program and demonstrating attainment of the program's learning outcomes.
• Scope of Coverage: The M.B.A. program core's unique modular structure, including a blend of 3.0 and 1.5-credit hour courses and a choice of multiple capstone experiences (supplemented by electives or concentration courses) increases the scope of coverage vs. more traditional programs, allowing students to see the whole picture.
• Incremental Knowledge: The curriculum is designed to advance a student's depth of knowledge by excluding material that overlaps with the undergraduate business experience. This approach is facilitated by a seamless transition for pre-experienced students from an undergraduate to a graduate learning environment and results in graduates whose knowledge and exposure surpass that of students in traditional M.B.A. programs. For students without a business background, the school also offers a portfolio of business foundation courses that can be completed prior to enrolling in the M.B.A. program core.
• Taxonomy: The incremental structure of the curriculum also includes a focus on higher-order taxonomies in the cognitive domain associated with analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Armed with that and the program's emphasis on advanced level conceptual foundations and analytical skill development, graduates are prepared to enter the workforce and advance rapidly toward higher-order decision-making positions.
• Leadership: The M.B.A. program's goal is to ensure graduates can "lead effectively, especially in an uncertain business environment." This is facilitated by case studies, co-curricular seminars and workshops on personal development and leadership, and team exercises.
• Diversity: Attracting students from more than 100 nations and delivering its curriculum worldwide in English, the program ensures the significant consideration of global perspectives. Moreover, the curriculum is contextualized so that localized business priorities form the context of the course content.
• Program Completion: Flexible programming options enable the student to complete the program in as little as one year, depending on prior preparation and location.

The M.B.A. program serves students entering our program immediately after completing their bachelor's degree; experienced business professionals seeking to advance their careers; and international students who wish to share their multicultural perspectives, all of whom aspire to contribute to the global marketplace. The School of Management values students who are motivated, involved with their profession and community, excellent communicators with strong interpersonal skills, and aspire to leadership roles in today's technology intensive marketplace.

International F-1 students who successfully complete this degree are eligible for an additional 24-month STEM OPT extension to work in the U.S. in an area directly related to their area of study immediately upon completing the customary 12-month post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT).

New Weekend Format

In response to the diverse needs of modern professionals and the evolving business landscape, we are now offering our existing general M.B.A. program in a weekend format. All requirements for the degree are exactly the same as the traditional format, but classes will only be scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend M.B.A. will provide a more accessible and flexible avenue to a degree without necessitating career interruptions.

This new offering is designed to serve working professionals who aspire to advance their career, but struggle to align their obligations with a conventional study schedule. We are confident that our weekend M.B.A. program will not only enrich the academic portfolio of our students, but also contribute to the broader mission of fostering lifelong learning and professional growth in our community.

Our Learning Community

The School of Management's commitment to integrate non-classroom experiences into the educational process is emphasized by its co-curricular experiential learning opportunities. By integrating multiple stakeholder groups into these opportunities, each student's professional career and entrepreneurial development needs are strengthened in ways that are both unique and reflective of emerging competencies in an evolving business environment. Representing significant learning opportunities in the context of advancing the school's mission, these co-curricular programs provide a distinctive competency for M.B.A. students, which speaks to the competitive advantage that they bring to the marketplace upon graduation.

Co-curricular programs include:

Experiential Education complements in-class instruction in diverse ways, including academic service learning, study abroad, faculty-mentored research, internships, solving real world business challenges, and interacting with business leaders and industry partners. Interested students should speak to their faculty advisor to discuss specific opportunities offered each semester.

Professional Enrichment complements traditional pedagogy with supplemental experiences. Students meet and network with area specialists, learn from business leaders, and gain access to contemporary and cutting-edge business issues that may not be otherwise discussed in an academic curriculum. In this way, students are exposed to issues that currently impact local and global business enterprise from the perspective of business leaders and gain insight and perspective that can be applied to both their academic studies and professional endeavors.

Community Impact supports the school's commitment to each student's educational experiences, cooperative learning, community engagement, and personal growth. The co-curricular program sponsors activities that engage students with their peers, faculty and staff, community members, and industry partners. Whether through clubs and honor societies or field trips to the stock exchange, the program seeks out activities that bring together a vibrant community and create synergies that advance the academic and professional knowledge of all participants.

In this way, students are exposed to those issues that currently impact local and global business enterprise, from the perspective of business leaders, with insights and perspectives offered that can be integrated into academic studies and professional endeavors. Secondly, the program offers workshops and activities designed to strengthen the professional polish of the student. These include the "mocktail social," "dress for success seminar," and "business etiquette workshop," among others.

School of Management Assurance of Learning

All students and organizations expect assurance that graduates of the School of Management are achieving the program's stated learning goals. In this spirit, the educational approach taken is one that is outcomes-based. Student learning outcomes are created across every course to validate and support the achievement of programmatic, concentration-specific, and course-level learning goals. These outcomes also strengthen the student's ability to make value-adding contributions to an organization.

Moreover, as previously mentioned, course-level learning goals and related outcomes for each class are designed to include invariant, contextual, and instructor-specific categories. In this way students receive learning experiences that are uniform across sections (invariant), globalized (contextual), and niche specific (instructor-specific), focusing on the specific domain expertise of the instructor.

The School of Management continually updates its curriculum so that it is both contemporary and competitive. Outcomes assessment is continuous, and inputs from students and all stakeholders are utilized to both revise academic programs as well as externally reference the curriculum for relevancy.

Risk Management, M.S.

Risk is pervasive across the 21st-century business environment. Business executives, in addition to evaluating revenue-generation and cost-efficiency, must prioritize organizational risk management as volatility and interdependencies of markets increase. This includes expanding corporate recognition of risk in terms of scope of importance, moving beyond previously established areas, such as cybersecurity and financial risk, to additional domains, such as health and safety.

There is an accelerated need to consider risk as a part of an organization's digital transformation, which is fundamental to effectively resolve continuity and crisis management. The School of Management's Master of Science in Risk Management program prepares students to become successful leaders in a dynamic, competitive global business environment, by providing quality, solutions-oriented learning experiences.

Moreover, our risk management master's degree program aligns with established best-practice priorities, as established by the Institute for Risk Management including coverage of crisis management, communication, supply chain, the regulatory context, and cashflow/liquidity elements; the program's recency also allows it to aggregate the emerging market trends in ways that provide a competitive advantage over other risk management programs, each of which addresses elements of the program's competencies but none of which address them collectively.

Curriculum Overview

The program emphasizes enterprise risk management, and takes risk management beyond the traditional areas of cybersecurity, financial risk, and insurance by focusing on additional areas, such as business continuity management; risks associated with product and market development; human capital and risk management; and legal and regulatory risk management. The structure of the curriculum is focused to allow a student with prior undergraduate business education to complete the program with as few as 30 credits. The courses proposed in the curriculum have been informed by accreditation standards, market needs, and validity of content coverage per alignment with best practices for risk management programs. Technology integration and data analytics have been given higher importance, so as to address the future challenges of the risk management industry, stakeholder inputs and New York Institute of Technology's mission statement.

Recent graduates of the School of Management speak highly of the real-world focus of its classes which prepare students to deal with workplace challenges that they will encounter on the job, success in developing professional competencies, challenging coursework, the quality and involvement of its faculty, small class sizes, and the ability to interact with industry experts and attend industry events.

Program Positioning Statement
The purpose of the Master of Science in Risk Management is to produce graduates who fulfill enterprise needs for risk management, by embracing preemptive knowledge management that mitigate dynamic downside risks and explore upside opportunities.

Our program is designed to meet the needs of not only current professionals, but those aspiring to these fields, as well as individuals who are engaged in risk assessment.

Program Features and the Learning Environment
The learning environment is designed for the practicing professional and promising career aspirant. Through coursework, students learn to apply principles, organization, and behavioral science theories to practical risk management problems. Case studies, simulations, research studies and field projects provide the opportunities to test and practice this new knowledge. Course materials reflect the most recent research findings, legal decisions, and current practices. Students often use their own organizations as field laboratories for applying, testing, modifying, and adapting new management practices and techniques.

We also facilitate student participation in educational seminars and conferences sponsored by the School of Management's Center for Risk Management throughout the academic year. The center provides opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills, build industry connections, and helps to launch their professional careers. Graduate assistantships may also be available for eligible students.

International F-1 students who successfully complete this degree are eligible for an additional 24-month STEM OPT extension to work in the U.S. in an area directly related to their area of study immediately upon completing the customary 12-month post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT).

Programmatic Learning Goals

Upon graduation from the Master of Science program, students will be able to demonstrate attainment of general and program-specific learning goals. These goals are designed to reflect the competencies expected of risk management professionals in the workplace. Student success is a shared and collaborative responsibility that engages students, faculty, staff and other stakeholder groups, working together to maximize students' opportunities to be successful.

Risk Management, M.S. Program General Learning Goals
Upon completion of the Risk Management, M.S. program, students will be able to:

1. Utilize technology applications and research to make data-driven decisions.

3. Successful students will be able to employ industry-standard software and models to affect sound managerial decision making.

The portfolio of courses taken in fulfillment of the degree requirements contains a significant scope of student learning outcomes that are scored, independent from grades, against these goals. In this way the student may address, in a formative manner, their progression through the degree program.
