MS in Marketing and Technological Innovation (MSMTI)（市场营销与技术创新硕士项目）
Technological advances have changed the very nature of marketing by demanding faster anticipation of emerging markets and radical innovations. At the same time, new technologies depend on solid marketing strategies that take advantage of highly variable climates, where markets are created and eliminated more quickly than ever before. Successful innovation marketing relies on the ability to recognize opportunities in unexpected places, taking advantage of altering communication patterns and the flow of information, all while managing ever-increasing competition on a global scale.

Today’s business environments deal constantly with changes requiring leadership for operational solutions. The Master of Science in Operations Design and Leadership provides balance between service and production management, with an emphasis on the leadership skills needed to facilitate organizational improvement.The program offers the option to concentrate in either Supply Chain Management or Process Design, or to customize the degree with a broad selection of electives focusing in-depth on issues in operations management and related management areas.

根据我个人的体会写一些在WPI学习和生活的情况供大家参考


WPI历史悠久，在麻省和新英格兰地区的口碑很不错，我问过这边的一些老外朋友，这边的人都认为WPI的学生很聪明，再加上WPI的学生一向有学习刻苦，注重实践的传统，所以WPI的学生还是很受欢迎的。当然由于WPI一向强在理工，学计算机和工程的学生最受雇主欢迎。


WPI商学院的课程质量不错，学到了很多我喜欢的课程，感觉国外教学都注重创新，参与和实践，这在国内比较少见。而美国同学们的思维很发散很活跃，并且也很认真。我们很多课是和在职的MBA们一起上，他们有很多年工作经验，从他们那里学到很多。


WPI的地理位置：Worcester虽说是麻省第二大城市，但和中国的城市比起来的确算比较安静的小城市，是个很适合学习的地方。我就很喜欢这里的一些古老的欧式建筑，很漂亮，像欧洲小镇。但建议大家到了Worcester后可以多跑Boston，感受美国大城市的氛围及文化历史，Boston shopping的地方也多J
从Worcester到Boston开车40多分钟，没车的话可以去Union Station（离学校不算太远）乘汽车或火车到Boston市中心的South Station，就在中国城边上。从South Station可以乘地铁去Boston各个地方，也可以在South Station买车票直接去纽约。


现在美国经济形势不太好，找工作并不容易，上面提到WPI最好找工作的专业是计算机和工程。我们商学院最好找工作的是IT。我也看到周围很多学MBA，MKT，ODL的中国学生在暑期或第二学年就找到了实习，所以工作机会还是有的，关键是自己努力，建议多跑Career Development Center和多多Network。


最后就是感觉WPI的同学们都很nice，如果不是整天和中国学生呆一起玩的话，是能交到老外好朋友的。
