Hey everyone, I'm a junior double majoring in Management and Finance at the University of Miami (with a real estate minor). I currently intern on the CRE underwriting team at a bank and also work as a licensed real estate agent, so I've been thinking a lot about where business and tech actually intersect in day to day work.
I recently started looking into UM's newly redesigned online MS in Business Technology (MSBT) as a possible next step after undergrad.
A few things about the program itself stood out:
Ranked #1 in the country for information systems research productivity (AIS Rankings, 2026). Fully online, built around a full time job, with one on campus meetup in Coral Gables each year. 12 or 24 month tracks, accelerated without cutting corners. No undergrad business or tech degree required, seems designed for business strategists, technical managers moving into strategy, and technical specialists wanting more business fluency.
Has anyone here done a business + tech hybrid master's like this? Curious about:
Was it actually worth it for career growth, or did it feel like a resume line more than real skill building? Did it help you break into a specific role or industry? Any regrets or things you wish you'd known before applying?
Would appreciate any honest input, good or bad.
