Review:
If you want to tools to be a good or great manager, this is the best program available. It is taught from a technological perspective, but it is not necessary to be from this background to succeed. The program was not only insightful, but also very comprehensive. This business degree is taught from a management perspective. The structure is there to cover all pertinent topics necessary to be a good manager. Some of the courses include Project Management, Financial Management, Leadership, Marketing Management, Strategic Change, Knowledge Management, and IT.
Great program for part time students in IT areas

Review:
I am about to complete this program, and so far I've been very satisfied with the quality of it. It is a challenging program; courses are six-weeks long, which means that the student needs to devote several hours a day in readings and assignments to fully take advantage of them. As a part-time student with a full-time job, this fast-track like system has proven to be really good to really concentrate on the current courses I take and fully understand the materials. Regarding the faculty, most of them are practitioners, which is in fact the orientation of the program. That been said, there are several professors with PhDs, which I believe ends up balancing the practitioner and theoretical points of view. One of the things I've liked the most is the quality of the student body; I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised by the diversity (in age, nationality and experience) and knowledge that the students bring to the classroom. As for the previous comment, I cannot talk about job placement after completing the program as I'm not at that stage already. Overall, although somehow pricey (it's NYU), I would recommend this program for working professionals who want to further their IT related careers from a practitioner's point of view, either by continuing in the IT world or transitioning to more business-oriented positions.

Review:
Overall, it is a total waste of money and time. You do not acquire any professional skills - like using statistical tools/software for research. They teach you a WBS is a bar chart, they don't get into a project management plan in the project management course. Yet these two courses take one semester to complete. Totally irrelevant.
