An upcoming information session hosted by Simon Fraser University’s Beedie School of Business at the Segal Graduate School on June 7 will showcase the business school’s acclaimed Management of Technology MBA program to prospective students.
The Management of Technology MBA is a focused MBA program that serves two sectors, technology and biotechnology. By design, the program blends current academic theory with practical application. Core courses, taken by all students, include cases and examples from both sectors, while specialized courses stream students into their specific area of interest.
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 is a part-time, 24-month program, delivered on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Segal Graduate School in downtown Vancouver. 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 Beedie School’s 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.
Applications are still being accepted for September 2011 enrolment.
