Master of Business Administration

A new kind of business leader is needed: One who knows that global challenges require technological solutions, and who can bridge the gap between the lab bench and the market. This new kind of manager not only understands finance, marketing, accounting and operations, but also knows how to translate business necessities to engineers, scientists and technologists in language they understand. On average, graduates report a starting salary of $78,333 within three months of graduation.

The Lally School MBA will bring new experiences that get students up close and personal with a range of business leaders — from technology executives and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley to business and government leaders in Washington, D.C.

The Lally MBA combines a classic business foundation with innovative and ever-changing curriculum to produce graduates who meet the needs of growing technology markets and become dynamic industry leaders.

The MBA includes 11 required Core Courses (33 credits) and four Electives (12 credits) for a total of 45 credits.
