Hey guys, I was wondering if business is considered a part of the STEM fields or if it's something else entirely. I'm trying to apply for different scholarships and internships, and I'm not sure how business fits in. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Business is not typically considered a part of the STEM fields, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Most business programs and degrees are categorized separately from STEM disciplines.
With that being said, there are some overlaps and interrelated areas, such as business analytics, management information systems, and quantitative finance, which may incorporate some STEM principles and concepts. If you're interested in both STEM and business, I would recommend searching specifically for programs and opportunities that focus on these business subfields, or others that have more of a STEM focus.
Good luck in your search!
