A lot of top-tier schools have recently introduced management courses geared towards technology management.

As someone who is considering applying to these programs, how do you think the programs will fare in the market in the Short term and Long term.

While each school brings its own strengths to the program, most of the programs aim to churn out Product Managers (IMO).

Are recruiters more or less likely towards hiring a candidate with these qualifications over, say a traditional MBA.

Some of the courses that I am talking about.

CMU Masters in Product Management
