MBA In Management of Technology and Innovation

The Ryerson full-time MBA in the Management of Technology and Innovation (MBA-MTI) program provides graduates with skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.

For every course a student is enrolled in they will be in class for three hours per week. In order to be successful, students should plan on devoting a minimum of 8-10 hours per week outside of the classroom for each course.

The full-time course load is three to five courses per semester. Students are able to switch from full-time to part-time and vice-versa. These decisions will be discussed on a case-by-case basis with the Program Director.
