Healthcare is the largest industry in the

world, responding to the needs of millions

of people. The United States is at the

forefront of this global industry, leading the

way in clinical research, training and

practice. The field is overflowing with

opportunities and challenges, from the

application of new technologies to the control

of accelerating costs. NYU-Poly prepares its

students for careers in the healthcare fields

on several fronts. In biomolecular sciences,

students perform basic research in virus

detection and cancer treatment. In chemical

engineering and electrical engineering,

students investigate new drug delivery

techniques and implantable microdevices

(e.g., detecting the onset of epileptic seizures

or viruses in the blood).

“NYU-Poly’s practical, quantitatively-focused curriculum, provides great preparation for a career in finance and business.”Tipsy Talwar, ’04

Business, finance and technology are becoming increasingly

intertwined. Graduates who can navigate easily between these

disciplines are in high demand. What’s more, a new quantitative

focus in business has opened up possibilities for individuals with

strong mathematical and analytical skill sets. With their leadership

and problem-solving skills, those with combined management

and technology backgrounds are prepared to excel in business

and finance.

A Polytechnic education is unique in that technology-based

lessons are embedded within the management curriculum. These

distinctive qualities set NYU-Poly graduates apart from other

candidates, making them a preferred choice among prospective

employers. Our B.S. in Business and Technology Management

educates students with a wide array of skills and knowledge and

an unparalleled understanding of information, innovation and

technology. In addition, the Department of Finance and Risk

Engineering offers a minor in Finance that promotes a wide

understanding of quantitative finance and mathematical modeling.
