- MS in Technology Commercialization at University of Texas, Austin (http://www.ic2.utexas.edu/mstc/) - 23 weekends (online or in-class) and 3 intensive weeks (in-class only). The program does not offer scholarships but expect low tuitions for in-state Texas residents.
- Executive Masters in Technology Management (http://www.emtm.upenn.edu/companies/industries/technology_commercialization.html) - This is a part-time weekend based in-class program and has no online options. the program does not offer scholarships as well.
- MS in Technology Commercialization at Northeastern University (http://www.cps.neu.edu/mstc/). This is an online program. Cool thing about this program is they have an Online Incubator called I-Cubator for online collaboration of incubatable ideas. The University also offers Scholarships and Financia Aid, which I like. Further, this program has 8 start dates throughout the year and therefore is really flexible for working professionals, unlike the UT Austin and UPenn programs that are more rigid in the admission and financial aid structures.
As I was searching around for education that would give you the best bang for your buck, while allowing you to keep your day jobs, I found that it is not as easy as it seems. Tuition is expensive and the degree itself may not be worth that much. So, I started looking for programs that put some thought behind them in understanding the need for top class continuing education and at the same time kept their programs affordable. This is an output of my periodic research, which I hope helps others.
