S2E8 - Technology, Strategy & Product Management Studies w/ Stephanie Muller

Humans of Tepper

Welcome back to the Humans of Tepper Podcast. This week, joining hosts Ben and Kara is Stephanie Muller to discuss the Technology, Strategy, and Product Management MBA tract. Stephanie started in economics but decided the best move for her was to focus on how technology can revolutionize business.

Tepper stood out to her because it's at the intersection of business and technology and creates competent leaders in both disciplines. Diversity week was also a big factor in why she chose the Tepper community. Diversity week is an event for prospective students from many different backgrounds to come together.

Stephanie explains that Tepper's Technology, Strategy, and Product Management (TSPM) track is all about helping you navigate all aspects of business technology in the functional world. It focuses on what it takes to take an idea and turn it into a product. The tract targets students like computer engineers and students that have a tech background. However, Stephanie did not have that background and still could get into the track she wanted. The support system she's received at Tepper has been integral to her success.

There are many cross-listed courses throughout Tepper and its sister schools, allowing for flexibility to pursue your interests and your MBA. There is such a wide range of projects within your track, and Stephanie is very excited about hers. Stephanie advises prospective and new students to think about what they want to get out of this experience. There are so many programs at Tepper, and it can get overwhelming because you'll want to take them all. So going in knowing what you want beforehand is very helpful.
