A Guide for New Malaysian Students
How to make the best out of your life at Stevens Institute of Technology?
Academics
You will have to take about 3~4 General Electives and 3~4 Technical Electives. So, instead of taking just any random subjects, why don’t you do a Minor or maybe a Graduate Certificate? (or both!) If you are willing to dedicate yourself to classes, you can also do Degree + Master’s in 4 Years!!
Need some advices to do Master’s Degree? You can consult:
