Master of Business & Technology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Master of Business & Technology ( MBT ) ([1]) is an innovative graduate business program similar to techno management MBAs, but aimed at experienced managers and professionals who want to expand their career choices by broadening their business expertise. The unique design of MBT courses enables participants to acquire the intellectual tools to manage both business and technology.
The MBT Program is tailor-made for busy managers and professionals in technology driven environments who want to elevate their careers. MBT courses focus on business, on technology, and on the point at which they intersect. It is designed to be undertaken part-time, in combination with full-time employment.
Enrolling in the MBT Program and choosing your own course pathway to suit your individual needs will enable you to differentiate yourself from graduates of traditional graduate business programs. Take a look at the program at a glance.
