MTME program requirements
As an engineering degree, our program is designed for people with strong technical backgrounds/skills who want to start an innovative, technology-based business. That said, it could also be well-suited to those who would like to learn about managing technology-based companies through an experiential learning approach, that is, developing their own product during the program.
One of the key requirements for the MTME program is the completion of a science or technology related undergraduate degree (for example: computer science, nursing, kinesiology, engineering, chemistry, biology, physics, psychology) and/or equivalent applied/practical technical skills or experience.
Students must develop a technology-based functional product/prototype as part of one of our core courses, so that’s where the practical technical skills/background requirement comes in more heavily.

Not your typical master’s program
We pair classroom learning with practical work to develop, validate, prototype and apply an innovative technological or social solution for a problem or opportunity. It requires idea sharing, research, creative action and iterative change.
Change isn't easy, so our faculty, entrepreneurs and designers-in-residence and industry subject matter experts guide you through its challenges so you can adapt and learn what to expect throughout your career.
