Description
The Master of Business Administration/Technology Management (MBA/TM) is designed to enhance the management skills needed to function effectively within a technology organization. "Technical" is defined to be much broader than computer information systems and technology. It includes engineering, pharmaceutical, chemical, and other technical enterprises. The program is dedicated to the linkage of technical and business cultures as integrated functions of the technology-based organization. The MBA/TM specialization is based upon courses in management of Rand innovation, technology transfer in the global economy, and the Seminar in Technology Management.The College of Graduate Business has created interactive, multimedia, case-based simulations that place students in real-world environments and require them to apply critical thinking skills to decision-making situations. Each simulation offers learners the opportunity to identify the information required to solve the problem, assess alternative solutions, and receive feedback on their choices.The MBA/TM consists of 45 credit hours. Thirty-six credit hours constitute the core curriculum and nine additional credit hours complete the MBA/TM program. The core begins with the three-credit, six-workshop prerequisite -Managerial Communication and Ethics-designed to build strategies for success in the program. The remainder of the core courses focus on using quantitative analysis to formulate and validate business decisions and using critical-thinking skills in solving business problems. The final three courses allow students to customize their degree program in the technology management specialization by focusing on current developments, business problems, or issues relative to technology management. The principle outcome will be the completion of a master's project introduced in the first of the three specialization courses. The project is completed and presented in the final course of the program.

joke. For Profit = No Education. Not even AACSB accredited
January 23, 2012
This school is the absolute WORST. It charges too much for an education you can get in High School. Book reports and posting on message boards is not a college education. All HR departments I've dealt with consider this "not a real degree"; and an HR friend of mine says they actually throw away the resumes of those with UOP stink on them. This school isn't even AACSB accredited. I highly recommend go to your ...
Rip off - don't go here
September 7, 2011
This school is not worth it. It charges way too much for the mediocre education it gives. My advisor lied to me about my 'grants'. Instead I was roped into student loans. The way i understand it - theses 'advisors' get a commission for each sucker they sign up to UOP. So as long as you qualify for a loan, you qualify for UOP. The classes were so freaking easy, I really could't believe I ...
2000 grad

A good program for those seeking knowledge in this very specialized area. The amount you learn is up to you. The books and lecture materials are top rate. Not a good program for those who try to determine the minimum required to pass (you'll pass, but learn almost nothing).
This school ruined my resume - a stain
September 16, 2010
Having this school on my resume made me the laughing stock by some of my interviewers. I got a lot of "oh you went there...hmm", and "ughhh...I'm not sure we're interested in UoP grads". This school has ruined education, and pretty much my life. I will never trust UoP. I recommend all to steer clear and go anywhere else.
No Quality
May 27, 2010
If you look for quality, then stay away from UOP. Instructors are border line incompetent, cannot solve simple problems, waste student time, do NOT adhere to published syllabus .... Administration will NOT support the student on academic issues, will change policies to their desire, sweep the issues under the rug totally unprofessional. only thing they care is that the student will get through the program i.e. pay the tuition. $$$ is the only thing they ...
Worthwhile Experience
February 3, 2009
I began my Master's program with some scepticism but it was quickly removed. My instructors did an excellent job of challenging me to deliver products with a higher level of writing quality, as well as critical thinking supported by the course concepts. I'm a solid self-starter so I was able to keep up. The only downside I can think of is the learning teams. Most of them were stocked with people who could carry their ...
