Officials at the College of Business Administration at Texas A&M University-Kingsville received permission from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to give a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) designation to students in the information systems program.
“The STEM designation will provide the skill set relevant to the economic growth of the region, state, and country and will increase the overall competitiveness in the workplace for our students,” said Dr. Natalya Delcoure, dean of the College of Business Administration.
Engagement in STEM also allows students to participate in numerous research activities and consideration for additional scholarship opportunities,” she added.
The designation takes effect immediately with all 24 students currently in the program as well as all incoming students receiving the classification on their degree.
