While an MBA provides broad competency in general management, Purdue’s Master of Business and Technology (MBT) program is designed for industries where technology drives products and processes.
Both the MBT and MBA build skills in accounting, marketing, financial management, communication, and leadership. The MBA adds depth in HR, business analytics, strategy, operations, and supply chain, preparing graduates for non-technical managerial roles.
The MBT, however, focuses on digital product design, computational intelligence, tech-driven business strategies, governance, DevOps, and tech market analysis—making it the preferred choice for engineers and tech specialists looking to lead in tech-centric fields. See the side-by-side comparison for why tech professionals choose MBT to extend their expertise into future-focused leadership.
Listen to Daniels School of Business Dean Jim Bullard and Academic Director Mohammad Rahman explain how the Master of Business and Technology (MBT) fills a void in the marketplace and equips graduates to lead organizations through digital transformation.
