MOT VS MBA BANNER

Often compared to an MBA, the MOT has the following distinctions for technology-based professionals:

In addition to accounting, finance and marketing, students apply engineering principles to the study of technology forecasting, innovation management, new technology product development and commercialization.

Unlike an MBA, which emphasizes broad business management, the MOT program focuses on the intersection of technology and leadership. It equips students with the skills to understand, forecast, and innovate within technology landscapes, making them uniquely prepared to drive technological advancements and lead tech-focused organizations.

Each student chooses a significant topic for the MOT capstone project. This applied research project enables students to directly translate their MOT education a real-world challenge.
