You are advised to meet with the BTM Program Director before completing you junior year if you qualify. (You are free to not elect this project sequence.)

Transfer Students

Courses at other schools may or may not be granted transfer credit and require an evaluation of the content and level of material covered. Periodic reevaluation of courses at other institutions may lead to a variation in the number of credits granted from year-to-year. Thus, students completing the same program, but in different years, may receive different amounts of transfer credit. Transfer students must present their records for evaluation at least 2 weeks before the regular registration period for their first semester.

Minor in Management

You may obtain an undergraduate minor in management by completing 14 credits of management courses with an overall GPA of at least 2.0 in the classes, one of which must be MG 1002 Foundations of Management, Credits: 2.00. Additionally, you must take at least 8 of the 14 credits at NYU-Poly.

Course Numbering

BTM courses are numbered with the following schema:

  • The first digit of a course number corresponds to the year in which a BTM student would take the course (1 = freshman, etc.)
  • The second digit reflects the primary nature of the course material. Courses numbered with a second digit of “0” are focused primarily on processes in management

“1” are oriented toward organizational behavior

“2” are quantitative in nature

“3” describe a firm’s relationships with external forces

“4” study innovation

“5” are capstone courses

“6” are Internship and Service courses

Thus, MG 3304 Introduction to Supply Chain Management is a 4-credit junior-year course focusing on external relationships.
