I visited Michigan Tech in order to write it off - I didn't want to be so far away from home. On my Husky Visit day, I went to a panel of COB Ambassadors, and I was convinced! Hearing the endless professional opportunities that all the first through fourth years had been able to achieve was inspiring, and I knew I belonged here!

I chose Michigan Tech because the College of Business demonstrated a strong investment in my success, supporting me from the application process through my time on campus. Ultimately, I chose them because the small class sizes and the ability to accelerate my master’s in accounting made it the best fit for my academic and career goals.

Sharon Colbert

Construction Management major

"My choice to attend Michigan Tech was based on the excellent combination of civil engineering and business in their Construction Management program. I knew I wanted to study business, but not necessarily a traditional degree. I wanted something connected to engineering that would allow me to help people and solve real-world problems."

"When I was looking at colleges, I was always split between business and engineering. The Engineering Management program at Tech has given me the best of both worlds and has opened up so many opportunities both on and off campus. Houghton is truly a great place to be a student, especially in the winter."

Ryan Miller

"I've always been fascinated with the world of business but was longing to get my hands dirty. When I was looking for the right school with the right program, Michigan Tech's Construction Management degree landed on my radar......and I immediately knew it was the right choice for me. After three years and four internships later, I'm looking forward to the career and experiences to come."

Pierce Miller

"I chose Michigan Tech because I fell in love with the scenic views coming into the valley, choosing to stay at Tech has been by far my best decision as I find myself feeling supported by my teachers and by the community. I have lived in over 7 states in the midwest and have experienced nothing like the seasons in the Houghton. I have come to love the summers for the chance to go hop in the portage when I am hot after lifts, go sit on the beaches of Superior when I want to get outside, or even go explore the rich mining history in the area. Truly at Tech I have never not had something to do no matter the time of year."
