bridges technology and business to meet
the needs of a global and technologically
rich society. The educational experience is

experiential learning, and an emphasis on
teamwork and analytical skills.

maintaining a commitment to research

What a Michigan Tech MBA Will Do for YouYou will gain a solid understanding of the key functional business disciplines.
You will appreciate the relationship between business and technology within their social, political, and economic contexts.
You will demonstrate excellent analytical and decision-making skills applying appropriate disciplinary knowledge.
You will be capable of clearly communicating the results of independent business analyses.
Earning a Michigan Tech MBAOur one-year, three-semester program provides students who have earned undergraduate degrees, primarily in the sciences and engineering, with a solid foundation in fundamental business disciplines. In addition, we offer students opportunities to improve their communication skills, learn how to manage technology and innovation, and understand how to manage financially sound and sustainable organizations.
The 36-credit program is designed so that students take eight core business classes during the fall and spring semesters and four elective business classes during the summer.
The MBA program was a great experience. I couldn’t find the perfect job when I graduated with my bachelor’s. Staying an additional year has helped me become more marketable to employers, and I found a great job! Completing this program is a decision I will never regret.

Upon completion of the MBA, graduates will have working knowledge of the key functional areas of business that will permit them to understand the enterprise as a whole. The MBA core courses include
n Accounting
n Finance
n Information Systems
n Management and Organizational Behavior
n Managerial Economics
n Marketing
n Operations and Quality Management
n Strategy
Elective Courses
MBA students complete their program by choosing four elective courses that build on the foundational knowledge in the core. Possible electives include
n Management of Technology
n Finance II
n Project Management
n Corporate Social Responsibility
Accreditation and StatureMichigan Tech’s School of Business and Economics was the first business program in Upper Michigan and northern Wisconsin to be professionally accredited by the AACSB—Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
In addition, the program was recently ranked in the top 100 MBA programs in “Beyond Grey Pinstripes,” a ranking by the Aspen Institute which spotlights innovative, full-time MBA programs that integrate issues of social and environmental stewardship into curricula and research.
Michigan Tech MBA graduates find successful placements in companies such as Archer Western Contractors, Bechtel, Boeing, Caterpillar, Grain Processing Corporation, Harley Ellis Devereaux, Flatiron Construction, Hutchingson Technologies, Kimberly-Clark, Phelps Dodge, and Unimin.
The additional year spent completing my MBA was well worth it. When applying and interviewing for jobs, I felt like I had an advantage over applicants with only a bachelor’s degree. I received a raise before the start date of my job because my employer recognized the increased value of an MBA degree.
