Where technology means business.

Prof. Massoud Amin's presentation on the MOT Capstone Project and MOT International Project classes. Please download the Degree Info Pack and see page 5 before viewing.

Why the MOT?

MOT students make a different decision than those who pursue an MBA program.

They choose an accelerated program taught by senior, interdisciplinary faculty, and to learn with a cohort of fellow high-potential, tech-based leaders and managers who have an average of 12 years of work experience.

They choose a program with the business foundation of an MBA education (e.g., finance, accounting, and marketing) plus unique, technology-specific management and leadership topics for which the program is world renowned:

Strategic technology innovation and management
Pivotal and new technology product development and market launch
Intellectual property management
Managing technological business opportunities, threats, and disruptions
Local-to-global competition, collaboration, and opportunity strategies
Best practices in oral and written business communications and conflict management
Mapping, tracking, and forecasting technology development

Results:

77% of MOT graduates reported being satisfied with their jobs compared to 62% at start of the program
As a result of the interactive, cohort-based learning, students report an additional 60% knowledge gain from interacting with classmates
Alumni report that their MOT skills are significantly impacting their career opportunities and advancement
Students and their companies have experienced significant career and business development as a result of the MOT Capstone Project class
As of September 2011, 33.6% of MOT alumni are executives and over 52% of the remaining alumni hold management or senior management positions
MOT graduation rates for MOT classes of 2007 through 2011 are 100%. Congratulations graduates!
