Hey, quick question: is a business major considered part of the STEM field by colleges or organizations? I'm trying to figure out if business-related majors can apply for STEM-specific scholarships and opportunities. Thanks!
Hi there! STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, and typically, business-related majors do not fall inside these categories.
That being said, there are some business programs that incorporate more technical elements or have a strong focus on quantitative skills like analytics and data science, which might be viewed as having a STEM component. These programs might qualify for certain STEM-specific scholarships and opportunities, but it would depend on the scholarship or program's individual criteria.
When looking for scholarships and opportunities, it's essential to read the eligibility requirements to see if your major or intended area of study qualifies. Even if you're not eligible for STEM-specific scholarships, don't worry! There are plenty of other scholarships and opportunities available for business-related majors. Best of luck on your search for scholarships and opportunities!
