Top Programs in Technology
This article is part of the “2020 Ranking of MBA Development Programs”. At the time of this writing, our Development Program Directory has 535 programs, with this article focusing on the top ten!
The top three spots in the technology industry in this year's rankings are Amazon Pathways Operations Manager, Microsoft Aspire Experience and Emerson Europe Rotational MBA Program, taking first, second and third place respectively. The largest jump of the year is the Microsoft Aspire Experience which moved up from eleventh place last year to take the second spot, and almost beat out Pathways Operations Manager for first place.
While many large tech firms made our list this year, only Amazon and Emerson have multiple programs in the Top 10, with three and two respectively. It is also interesting to note, that out of the top programs, only two of them are internships, offered by Google and Amazon, while the rest are all full-time programs.
One thing which most of the Top 10 have in common, however, is that they are all, for the most part, relatively broad in what they offer for the program. With the exception of Honeywell, which focuses on Supply Chain, all the programs in our Top 10 this year are general Leadership Programs, or some form of Rotational Program. With more professionals moving into the Technology industry, there will be more people looking to get their foot in the door, and looking for that first real experience to help really jumpstart their career. With this in mind, it makes sense that more people would be drawn to opportunities which offer them a broader entry into the industry.
