Overview

Polytechnic University, New York's leading engineering, science, and technology management university, is home to the area's premier techno-MBA program. The Polytechnic University MBA program is anchored in innovation and technology management and entrepreneurship with a global focus.

The Poly MBA aims to educate professionals for whom managing technology, nurturing innovation, and fostering entrepreneurship are paramount concerns. Since Poly is a technology and engineering powerhouse, MBA students also have direct access to the latest technological developments. Poly's New York City location and close ties with premier firms also mean that MBA students are exposed to state-of-the-art and sophisticated managerial practices. Poly's vast alumni population of technology leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs also provide a rock-solid professional network for MBA graduates to launch and advance careers and companies.

"Our new MBA at Polytechnic University is a decidedly modern program. It is designed for innovation-savvy professionals in the region, across the nation and around the world who want to pursue a technology-based MBA in one of the world's leading global cities," said Professor Mel Horwitch, Chairman of the Department of Management at Polytechnic University. "Polytechnic University also leverages its strength in technology management education and a tremendous legacy of innovation and entrepreneurship to provide students with maximum value."

The Polytechnic University MBA program also incorporates interdisciplinary and experiential project-based learning into its curriculum, allowing students immersive experience in the business and technology communities outside of the classroom. Further, the program emphasizes applied science and technology policy; social entrepreneurship and corporate responsibility; and individualized and team-based coaching.

"This is a business education program that supports and furthers Polytechnic University's distinct mission of providing innovative technology education to professionals and leaders," said Jerry Hultin, president of Polytechnic University.
