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.
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.
B.S.B.A. General Goals

In addition to completing courses in the general education and the business program core, the School of Management offers students concentration options that form focused areas of study. All students must choose a concentration for their B.S.B.A. program. Each of the concentrations have major-specific learning goals and learning objectives, which are stated below. These are in addition to, but also supportive of, the earlier-stated programmatic learning goals.
Please note: The School of Management is no longer accepting applications for new students into this concentration.
The School of Management implements processes for the B.S.B.A. program that are in addition to those of the university for the purpose of ensuring effective student selection and retention. School of Management academic policies are in addition to New York Institute of Technology academic policies and standards.
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:
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.
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.

The school's administrative team oversees program delivery and other functions necessary to effectively deliver the school's activities. Professional staff members provide services to all stakeholder groups that the school supports, including students, alumni, business leaders, and faculty. Together the administration and professional staff of the school take a student-centric approach to their responsibilities, always with consideration for student needs and stakeholder values.
Administration
Professional Staff
Departments and Faculty
The school's organization encourages empowerment across its constituent faculty through the disaggregation of responsibilities into departments. Departments work collaboratively to advance the school's mission while simultaneously working independently toward creating specific niche and distinctive competencies to ensure student and stakeholder success within the areas that are overseen.
Each department includes faculty members from all campus locations where the School of Management delivers its academic programs. This ensures a broad and diverse set of perspectives that impact positively on (a) curriculum development that includes a strong and uniform core component that forms the common experience for all students, regardless of location, and (b) highly contextualized curriculum elements embedded throughout the courses that are localized to the specific needs of the local business community where the program is delivered.
The School of Management mission to "provide high quality, career advancing business education opportunities within the context of a dynamic, technologically enabled, and global business environment," supports the school's vision to "be a preeminent and distinguishable leader among institutions of higher education in the provision of internationally based academic business programs."
The School of Management operationalizes the school's mission through signaling its commitment to excellence by empowering undergraduate students with:
Business Technology is closely aligned with the professional workspace, and includes Bloomberg, Compustat, E-Views, Peachtree, Oracle/Peoplesoft, and SPSS, among others. In this way, students harness the transformational impact of technology on business with the long-term objective of creating value-adding contributions to their own businesses and that of their employers, upon graduation.
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 directly with business leaders and industry partners. Interested students should speak directly to their advisor or the School of Management Director for Experiential Education to discuss specific opportunities offered each semester. Students must complete one experiential education activity in partial fulfillment of degree requirements (BUSI 495).
The Professional Enrichment Program complements traditional pedagogy with supplemental experiences during which our students meet and network with area specialists, learn from business leaders, and are exposed to contemporary and cutting-edge business issues that are not usually discussed in the classroom. 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. Interested students should speak directly to their advisor or the School of Management Director of Professional Enrichment to discuss specific opportunities offered each semester. Students are required to complete 20 PE and CI activities (combined) in partial fulfillment of degree requirements (BUSI 495).
Entrepreneurship and Career Orientation involves all course-level learning goals which are designed to support industry-driven objectives and are referenced by entrepreneurs and executives in the employment market. In this way, the school's academic programs are career oriented and designed to strengthen student business creation, job placement, and advancement in the workforce.
The Community Impact Program supports the school's commitment to student engagement in their educational experiences, cooperative learning, community engagement, and personal growth. The co-curricular program sponsors activities that engage students across varied platforms with their peers, faculty and staff, community members, and industry partners. Whether it is by way of clubs and honor societies, or field trips to the stock exchange, the program seeks out those activities that bring stakeholder groups together for the purpose of creating a vibrant community with synergies that advance the academic and professional aspirations of all participants. Students are required to complete 20 PE and CI activities (combined) in partial fulfillment of degree requirements (BUSI 495).
Career Building Platform
In support of the school's mission, the Career Building Platform, comprised of Professional Enrichment, Experiential Education, and Community Impact, has been developed to ensure student success. All students are advised to refer to the brochures for the components of the platform, and speak to their advisor or the directors of each program concerning their completion of activities in each program in partial fulfillment of degree requirements (BUSI 495).
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.
To meet global needs for contemporary management with cross-national experiences, New York Institute of Technology offers an Executive Master of Business Administration (E.M.B.A.) program to the international business community in partnership with world-renowned educational institutions in China, including Xiamen University, Tsinghua University, Shanghai University, Renmin University of China, and China University of Mining and Technology.

Academic Probation and Dismissal
When a student's cumulative GPA falls below 3.0, the student is placed on academic probation immediately. The student then has exactly one semester to bring the GPA to 3.0. If the student fails to do so, the student will be dismissed from the program. Grounds for departmental review and possible dismissal from the program also include:

The School of Management offers a minor open to all undergraduate students who are majoring in other disciplines.
Enrolling in the business minor ensures that students are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their chosen careers. By pursuing this minor, students will gain essential insights into core business areas, significantly enhancing their prospects for career success post-graduation. Tailored to provide students with a competitive edge in entry-level business roles and facilitate long-term career advancement, the curriculum focuses on cultivating adaptable skill sets. These include critical thinking, creative problem solving, ethical decision making, clear communication of complex ideas, and effective teamwork—all essential competencies for thriving in a dynamic professional landscape.
The College of Engineering and Computing Sciences along with the School of Management, and in association with the Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC), has established a Minor in Technology Entrepreneurship. The primary outcome of this innovative minor is to produce versatile graduates who can launch their own technology-based enterprises or are capable of growth within industry, by teaching them how to apply entrepreneurial principles of innovation and strategic problem solving to a technology field. Key skills include: a) an increased confidence to form and work in collaborative teams; b) an understanding of the processes to get from developed technology concepts or new ideas to the formation of a start-up; and c) becoming equipped with the experiential and foundational knowledge of how to find financial resources to form a viable company.
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.
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).
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:
Risk Management, M.S. Program-Specific Learning Goals

The School of Management implements processes for the risk management program that are in addition to those of the university for the purpose of ensuring effective student selection and retention.
Academic Probation and Dismissal
Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA each semester. They may repeat a course in which they receive a grade of C or lower to raise their grade. A course in which the student receives a grade of F must be repeated, if required by the department academic review committee.
Academic probation is automatically imposed if the student's GPA falls below 3.0 in any semester, or the cumulative GPA falls below 3.0. The student then has exactly one semester to bring the cumulative GPA to 3.0. If the student fails to do so, the student will be dismissed from the program. Students will also be dismissed if the semester GPA in any two successive semesters is below 3.0.
Grounds for departmental review and possible dismissal from the program also include:
The committee, at its discretion, may require the student to repeat one or more courses in which the student has a grade lower than B; reduce their credit load; take other remedial action; or recommend the student's dismissal from the Risk Management, M.S. program.
Graduation
The criteria used to evaluate students for graduation are uniform at all campus locations and, pertaining to the Risk Management, M.S. academic program, the graduate cumulative GPA will be a minimum of 3.0. Additional criteria for graduation are located in the Graduate Academic Catalog.
Time to Degree Completion
In the best interests of the student and the college, a maximum of five years is allowed for completion of degree requirements. Under exceptional conditions, an additional year may be permitted upon formal request and approval by the academic dean and the provost.
Repeat Policy
Students must repeat a course in which they receive a grade of F, if required by the department academic review committee.
Career change, advancement, evolving job requirements, and competition require professionals to increase their capabilities throughout their careers. New York Tech's advanced certificate programs are intended for professionals with either M.B.A. or baccalaureate degrees who seek to gain specialization in new fields.
Certificate students have the same courses available as those available to M.B.A. students choosing that area of concentration. Each advanced certificate has its own unique curriculum and total number of credits. Specific details are given on each curriculum page.
Students are expected to perform at the same level as matriculated M.B.A. students, and must complete the approved sequence of courses with an average of B (3.0) or better to earn the advanced certificate.
The sequence of courses for each of the certificates will be decided by the student and their advisor to provide proper foundation and learning for the certificate subject matter.

For potential leaders in industry that want to get M.B.A.-level knowledge and capabilities without needing to sit through prerequisites and courses that are not directly relevant to their career goals, this program will impart knowledge, leadership skills, and advanced capabilities while introducing concepts from our full M.B.A. program.
While some universities have created a mini M.B.A. program, the School of Management approach is one that differentiates us by integrating our Business Administration Essentials Advanced Certificate programs into our existing M.B.A. curriculum, allowing students to work their way through all four Advanced Certificates and complete a zero-credit seminar plus two additional elective courses to be awarded a full Master of Business Administration degree. Courses taken in the Marketing or Business Analytics Advanced Certificate programs can also count towards electives.
Students that have an undergraduate degree in business or other management discipline may enter the advanced certificate program having satisfied the prerequisites of the Advanced Certificate in Business Administration Primer.
The Advanced Certificate in Business Administration Essentials will appeal to students that may have taken an M.B.A. in the past and wish to either refresh their skills or gain skills that were not part of their M.B.A. at the time that they completed their degree. Business skills are in huge demand and for graduates that have completed Baccalaureate, Masters, or Doctoral level studies without engaging in M.B.A.-level training, and this program is ideal to gain both credit for the courses taken, leading to an Advanced Certificate, but also providing students to opportunity to continue on to the full M.B.A. if they choose.
The Business Administration: Primer advanced certificate program will introduce students from disciplines other than business to a broad range of business fundamentals. Students will take courses in accounting, economics, finance, statistics, and management. Upon successfully completing the program, students can transition to the New York Tech M.B.A. program or enroll in additional essentials advanced certificate programs focused on analytics, finances, or managerial leadership.
