While this program is currently offered in an entirely online format, if you would like to take an on-campus course, you just need an advisor or departmental approval to be registered. While we can’t guarantee acceptance to a specific course, it should in general be very possible to accomplish. Your advisor can help advocate for you in these cases. You will also need to take at least half of the courses in the modality to which you’ve applied (online). Since it’s a 12 course degree, you could take up to six courses online and six on-campus.

Selecting the right graduate program is a pivotal decision, and the choice
between pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or a
Master's in Management of Technology (MOT) hinges on various
factors. Each program serves a distinct purpose, and understanding their
unique benefits can help you align your educational path with your
career objectives.

• MBA Overview: The MBA provides a broad education in Business. It equips students with versatile skills applicable across various industries. However, its generality does not delve deeply into the specific nuances of tech-driven world.
• MOT Overview: On the other hand, the MOT offers a balanced approach between business and technology. This program is designed to complement technical expertise with strategic business skills, facilitating the identification of opportunities for technological innovation across industries.
• Unique Strengths of MOT: The MOT program uniquely positions graduates to bridge the gap between technology and business. By combining technical proficiency with strategic acumen, it empowers individuals to lead in a rapidly evolving technological landscape and uncover new avenues for business innovation.
• Considerations for Your Decision: Ultimately, the choice between an MBA and an MOT depends on your specific background, current education level, professional interests, and career aspirations. If you aspire to take a leadership role at the intersection of technology and business, the MOT may be the ideal fit.
