Business Engineering and Management Sciences

About the Program

The Bachelor of Science in Business Engineering and Management Science (BEMS) program prepares students with an interest and aptitude in STEM to be leaders in an increasingly data- and technology-driven business world.  After a solid grounding in math and engineering fundamentals from the Mines core curriculum, students are trained in the latest quantitative business tools. The BEMS degree is built on two core areas: 1. Business Principles, which prepares students in traditional business skills in accounting, finance, marketing, communication, strategy and project management; and 2. Data Analytics and Operations Research, which focuses on data science, mathematics, statistics, and optimization modeling, business analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
