The Business Administration in Technology Leadership curriculum includes 52.5 credits of core courses designed to equip students with a common set of capabilities necessary for effective management in the tech sectors.
In term 3 (full-time) or term 6 (part-time), students can choose between the Venture Studio project or a Technology Consulting project. In the Venture Studio students learn leading product design, management strategies and frameworks for high-growth potential technology firms. Students explore how those strategies and frameworks connect directly to the investments placed by Venture Investors seeking to scale tech firms. The Technology Consulting Project enables students to apply their knowledge and methodologies in a real-world consulting environment. Working in teams, students collaborate with an organization (鈥渃lient site鈥) to analyze a technology-related challenge, develop strategic recommendations, and deliver actionable insights. The course culminates in a final report and presentation to a panel of experts, including the course director, as well as to the client organization.
Term 4 (full-time) or term 8 (part-time) includes a Mandatory Graduate Placement. Through the placement experience, students will build upon, practice and reflect on key learnings and build relevant experience for their career post-graduation. A minimum of 12 weeks of full-time work is required to complete this graduate placement. Part-time students may fulfill this requirement within their current role or use it as a chance to explore a new employer or industry.
Students are eligible for graduation upon their successful completion of 52.5 credits.
