Programs for Commercializing New Technology

by NYC493 » Tue Apr 05, 2011 7:30 am
I'm looking to find an MBA progam which would have coursework or even a concentration specific to the study of commercializing new technology, perhaps in the energy industry. Any thoughts??

I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about the program I'm about to recommend you look into, but I know that we have a new program called a Masters in Technology Commercialization here at McCombs. The link to the program is below:

https://new.mccombs.utexas.edu/mstc/

It may be a good fit, especially since UT is well regarded for energy-related programs. It's probably worth it to reach out to them with more specific questions.

If you are set on an MBA, I believe the McCombs MBA does allow you to take MTSC classes as part of your two years.

Hope that helps.

Thanks brianm. It's funny you should say that because I discovered the MSTC program at McCombs this week and then realized that I missed the application deadline for this year.

I guess I'll continue researching my options for now. But, thanks again.
