These opportunities help students develop the skills and competencies required to succeed in a leadership role in technology-based organizations.

Graduates of a MAT program can pursue a variety of career paths, such as chief technology officer (CTO), chief information officer (CIO), technology consultant, technology innovation manager, or technology entrepreneur. The demand for technology professionals with leadership skills is high, and career opportunities are expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
