The WPI MBA is designed to recognize the opportunities and tackle the challenges of managing in today’s technology-oriented environment. This 48-credit hour program features an integrative curriculum based on fundamental business disciplines, a core that integrates these principles, and the freedom to choose electives that further students’ personal goals in the management of technology. Every course in the MBA program is taught from a technological perspective.

By choosing sets of electives to round out their foundation and core courses, MBA students can choose from eight areas of concentration including information security management, entrepreneurship, and technological innovation. In addition to these specialization areas, MBA students are free to choose from over 100 graduate electives each semester from other departments.

MBA students can take their entire program at either the Worcester campus, or through WPI’s Advanced Distance Learning Network (ADLN), taking MBA courses in a web-based environment.
