What is the Management of Technology (MOT) MBA?

The Management of Technology MBA is a focused MBA program that serves the technology sector. By design, the program blends current academic theory with practical application. Core courses, taken by all students, include cases and examples from the tech sector. Students acquire the business expertise to effectively manage products, people and organizations as they transition from scientific or technological roles into managerial positions or, as managers, enhance their understanding of the unique demands of those sectors. The program was designed with the participation of industry, and maintains its currency through relationships with industry advisors and guest speakers from the technology and biotechnology sectors.

The Management of Technology MBA (MOT MBA) is a part-time, 24-month program, delivered on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Segal Graduate School of Business in downtown Vancouver. In the fast-changing environment of technology, the part-time format enables students to continue to keep pace with technology and maintain both salary and position, while broadening their understanding of business as it applies to their industry.

The MOT MBA is designed specifically for a small cohort of professionals whose experience and backgrounds are complementary. The cohort model is particularly effective in creating dynamic discussions in a supportive, team-learning environment.

Our internationally recognized professors teach, research and work with technology. Students learn from a mix of lectures, case studies as well as individual and team-based projects that focus on real business challenges faced by organizations in technology. Students will also acquire, practice and perfect the soft skills that help them manage within any organization. The program includes an extensive, MBA-specific Career Management program and the services of a dedicated, industry-experienced advisor to hone students' professional skills, strengthen resumes and create long-term business plans that can be used throughout their careers.
