Tech Master of Business Administration (TECHMBA)*

Program Requirements

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. Designed to allow students with an engineering or scientific background to earn both an engineering certificate from Kettering University, and an MBA from Walsh, this novel degree advances students' technological knowledge while integrating the business acumen needed to solve the multifaceted problems organizations face in today's complex world.

Tech MBA Foundation Course

Foundation courses may not be required for students depending on their undergraduate degree or credits earned at another institution. Each student will get a personalized evaluation of their academic history to ensure they take only the courses they need to complete their degree. Foundation courses that are not required do not need to be replaced by another course in the program.
