Program Overview

The Tech MBA is an interdisciplinary collaboration combining the business and technology knowledge necessary to prepares graduates for senior leadership positions in a wide variety of technical fields.

The Tech MBA program consists of 9-10 classes for 30-33 credits. The Tech MBA degree requires a minimum of 18 semester credit hours in residence at Walsh.

  • Students preparing for graduation must file an official Application for Graduation Form with the Records and Registration office. Students can make an appointment with an academic advisor to review graduation requirements.
  • Students are limited to no more than 6 semester credit hours of courses in directed study, practicum and/or internships.
  • Earn a minimum 30 graduate semester credit hours, which may include up to a maximum of 12 semester credit hours of advanced standing, therefore requiring 18 semester credit hours in residence in the Tech MBA program.
  • Earn a grade of “C” (2.000) or better in each course counted toward graduation.
  • Achieve a cumulative grade point average of “B” (3.000) or better within the degree requirements at Walsh.
