***Stevens Institute Unveils Undergraduate E-Business Degree
(March 15)

Stevens Institute of Technology today announced an undergraduate
degree program designed to equip students for success in business
environments increasingly characterized by the convergence of
technology with business management strategies.

The E-Business program—a Bachelor of Science Degree—will focus on
the practical applications of science and technology competencies
with core business requirements such as production, marketing,
supply-chain management and customer service.

Under the program’s E-business umbrella, students will focus on
the integration of technology and business, and will have the
opportunity to select courses of specialized study initially in
the areas of e-commerce, financial services and healthcare.
Stevens officials said that they plan to add other
specialization’s as the marketplace expands.

The curriculum will also imbue students with an understanding of
how the electronically bonded network of customers, suppliers,
and creators of services and products affects business operations
and tactical decision-making.

Rick Roscitt, president and CEO of AT&T Solutions, marked the
occasion by announcing a $100,000 AT&T grant for the development
of the curriculum designed to prepare a workforce with both
technology and management skills. Roscitt added that AT&T would
also support the Stevens ‘E-degree’ program by hosting a specific
number of students through four-year work-study programs as well
as a commitment to hire a yet to be determined number of
graduates of the program.

Specific degree course requirements will be finalized 2Q99.
