Business Administration Tech MBA® Program

Technology changes how organizations work. Leading that change takes more than technical knowledge—it takes business judgment. Michigan Tech’s Tech MBA® combines management fundamentals with a focus on innovation, technology, and strategic decisions. Develop a broader perspective on how people, markets, and organizations work together.

You'll also study at a College of Business accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB), which means that programs meet a strict set of standards for both quality in education and research. Fewer than five percent of business schools worldwide hold this accreditation. 

The Accelerated Master's Program is available for current Michigan Tech students. Explore our Online Master's Program.

Who is This Program For?

Are you looking to move from a specialized role toward broader organizational responsibility? The Tech MBA® may suit early-career professionals, experienced specialists, and students from varied academic backgrounds who want to strengthen their management knowledge. It may be especially relevant if your interests connect business with technology, innovation, or entrepreneurship.

What You'll Study

Explore the fundamentals of business and management, then deepen your understanding with higher-level courses in communication, leadership, marketing, globalization, entrepreneurship, innovation, and managing technology. You’ll examine how business functions connect and how decisions about people, resources, and strategy shape organizational performance. Plus you’ll have the cross-discipline advantage of studying at one of the top engineering and technology research universities in the country.

Where You'll Apply Your Knowledge and Skills

A business administration degree can inform decisions across organizations, including those working with complex technologies. Depending on your experience and goals, you may apply your knowledge in the following areas:

  • Business strategy and organizational leadership
