Students at Menlo College who want to learn about business and technology should have the option to do so. Menlo is in the heart of Silicon Valley, which is the global leader in the tech industry. What can be improved to Menlo curriculum would be additional courses that is designed to teach students about technology. It will give them a better foundation that will better prepare them when or if they apply for a job in Silicon Valley.</span></span></span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Student’s currently have major options in Finance, Marketing, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Psychology, Sports Management, International Management, Human Resources, and Real Estate. The job outlook for each of these majors requires proficient knowledge in some range with technology and the current curriculum is not preparing students for encountering technology. Menlo College’s only major with technology is Management Information Systems, that has been discontinued and contains limited courses. To find a solution to these issues we want to develop and coordinate new technology-driven courses within the curriculum such as; Business Intelligence & Data Science, Computer Programming (Python, C++, Java), Growth Hacking, Machine Learning/Automation, Mobile App/Web Development, and Design Thinking/Theory. Our objective is to have these set up as a Business & Technology & Innovation concentration or minor that students could potentially implement with their current major. In order to fulfill this we must coordinate with the school’s curriculum committee who then must get it approved by the faculty senate. We are also looking to incorporate pilot programs or 3-4 week modules that students can take on the side. This will not only prepare students for their professional expertise but also allow them to expand their innovative mind.</span></span></span>
