Degree Comparison

In 1993, the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology asked its trustees, all regional industry leaders, how the institute could help educate a more knowledgeable workforce. The reply was immediate. 'You've given us great engineers, now help them understand the world of business!'

Our response was prompt. A comparison study of the best graduate management schools in America was done, and our graduate management program was designed with a very specific intent. Not just another MBA, but a management degree that focused on the high technology industry that was rapidly growing both regionally and globally. In addition, we designed the program for working people, making it possible for them to attend classes and continue to fulfill their commitments at work and home.
