威尼斯人娱乐城布洛赫管理学院是该地区唯一一所通过其金融硕士学位提供茎（科学、技术、工程和数学）学位的学校。
该计划响应了stem指定项目的新兴趋势，重点是将数学和统计学应用于金融行业。 As Kansas City’s business school, Bloch stays current and agile when it comes to industry trends.
While several of the school’s courses align in this area – financial mathematics, modeling, advanced statistics – its MSF program is becoming even more quantitative-focused in its curriculum.
“We’ve had our eye on this rapidly emerging trend in business schools over the last several years,” said Brian Anderson, PhD, Associate Dean at the Bloch School. “We’re excited to be strengthening our curriculum to best align with changes happening in the financial industry and to strengthen our graduates in a very competitive job market.”
布洛赫希望其茎称号能够吸引当地学生以及想要在堪萨斯城工作的当地以外的学生。 但它最大的吸引力可能是国际学生。 这一指定是基于美国教育部制定的课程指导方针，并经美国国土安全部认证，延长了持有F-1学生签证的学生在获得学位后在美国停留和工作的时间。 获得茎学位后，他们的选择性实践培训（OPT）可以持续长达三年。
“This program is very popular among international students,” said Anderson. “We’ve been getting lots of inquiries and students applying. 威尼斯人娱乐城 offers the benefit of completing their education and gaining extended work experience all right here in Kansas City.”
有了这个新称号，布洛赫加入了提供茎项目的精英商学院群体，其中包括南加州大学、麻省理工学院、宾夕法尼亚大学和加州大学伯克利分校。 该校将于2021年秋季开始推广茎无国界医生项目。
安德森说，堪萨斯城拥有强大的金融部门，对于那些想在现有工作岗位上工作、加速职业发展并寻求发展机会的学生来说，这是一个理想的选择。
“The demand is strong for those with advanced degrees in finance,” he said. “And Bloch’s 茎-designated MSF degree provides the in-demand skills and opportunities needed for their success.”
