The Haas School offers a technology specialization through its Management of Technology (MOT) program. The program, which focuses on the management activities required to bring high-tech products to market, is a joint effort of the Haas School, the College of Engineering, and the School of Information.

MOT has also become the most popular interdisciplinary program on the campus because it has successfully integrated business and technology education in classes that bring MBA students and engineering students together. Silicon Valley firms sponsor MOT projects every year in which teams of MBA and engineering students act as project consultants. Three MOT fellowship programs offer paid opportunities to about 25 students each year.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

A graduate of Haas' Management of Technology Program (MOT), Sabrina Ko, MBA 07, was naturally drawn to the fast pace of entrepreneurship in the technology sector. "Berkeley is one of only a few universities whose graduate programs in both engineering and business rank in the top 10," she notes. "The collaboration between the schools fosters new ideas and innovation. Students from the other disciplines bring different experiences and perspectives to every subject."
