| Technology MBA Program (Evening) |
Internships don't really enter into this program. The assumption is that you
are working full time and therefore have no time for one. However there is a
very active career services center and alumni group that help get you started.
Campus recruiting starts lining up over the summer before the 2nd year and
includes some big names. It isn't overwhelmingly management consulting, which is
a good thing. Because the school as a whole is known for it's supply chain
management program, there are a lot of recruiters looking for that skill set.
The Alumni community does regular "lunch and learn" seminars that are as much an
opportunity for networking as they are a teaching seminar, and a lot of
opportunities come from that. There have also been people who turned their AIP
projects into real work after graduation.
The program overall is respected. It's not Wharton, but it is nationally ranked
and was number 12 in part time programs across the country in 2002. The
technology program is particularly well respected for the AIP project, which is
considered a strong differentiator. It's much more complex then your normal
business plan competition.
The class that started in 2003 was also given the opportunity to complete their
Six-Sigma certification instead of the AIP and there is a great deal of interest
from both students and industry. That adds yet another level of value to the
program for employers who are footing the bill.
