I am considering returning to school for an MBA, possibly at OSU. How does the MSETM degree compare with the MBA program?
The MSETM is targeting engineers and scientists who have a bachelor’s degree in engineering or the physical / mathematical sciences and at least three years’ employment since graduation with a bachelor’s degree. It is offered as a Distance Learning program. Beyond those two major differences, the answer to your question is best answered by comparing the courses available in the MBA and the MSETM. Some courses are virtually identical, and several College Business Administration faculty also participate in the MSETM. Other courses are quite different. The MSETM is focused on strategy, technology, and integration. It can be tailored to have the feel of an Engineering Management program or a Management of Technology program. In no way is the MSETM trying to compete with the MBA degree (and OSU has a well-respected MBA– see more about that program here). In fact, there has been interest expressed in the MSETM by those who already have an MBA.
