Frequently Asked Questions

While this program is currently offered in an entirely online format, if you would like to take an on-campus course, you need departmental approval to be registered. We can’t guarantee acceptance to a specific course. Your advisor can help navigate this process. 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.

No. Since the MS program is fully online, NYU cannot provide visa support for a student visa. If you require a student visa, please consider applying for one of our on-campus programs. For any questions regarding our on campus programs, you can contact the Graduate Admissions Office at engineering.gradinfo@nyu.edu or 646-997-3182. For any questions regarding student visas, consult with the Office of Global Services for personalized immigration guidance.

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 the tech-driven world.
• MOT Overview: On the other hand, the MOT degree 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 the MOT program 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 MS program may be the ideal fit.

The online and on-campus degrees are academically equivalent and result in the same credential, with no mention of “online” on the diploma. Both are taught by NYU faculty and grounded in the same curriculum framework. However, please note that not all on-campus courses are available online, so the specific course options may differ between the two formats.
