Accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International-the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide.

• Develop a relationship with an industry-leading mentor explicitly selected for your unique goals from the Center for Technology Management and Digital Leadership. You’ll gain exclusive access to the center’s network of nearly 250 CIOs and technology executives through workshops, webinars, and other events.
• Immerse yourself in issues critical to technology adoption and management in three intensive four-day residencies on Northeastern’s global campuses, selecting Boston or London for your first two residencies and completing the third as an entire cohort in Boston.
• Benefit from the hybrid program structure with three in-person residencies paired with live, interactive courses in person and online using cutting-edge learning technologies to interact with faculty and classmates.
• Build on core courses in management, strategy, and finance by adding electives in topic areas that expand your capabilities and advance your goals, such as analytics or the metaverse.

Your master’s project will develop and strengthen from a nascent idea into a project plan that will ultimately produce a complete professional asset and the invaluable knowledge that you’ll carry with you to your next venture.
• You’ll also gain insider access to an invitation-only network of successful technology executives through the Center for Technology Management and Digital Leadership, which you can leverage for strategic insight and career growth.
