Faculty

McIntire faculty members are at the forefront of their fields as researchers, as practitioners, and as leaders of professional organizations. But above all, they are superb, inspiring teachers who make it their most important priority to work closely with their students. In addition to resident McIntire faculty, a number of "virtual" faculty are involved throughout the program through on-site visits, videoconferencing, and classroom experiences. “Virtual” faculty members offer students the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s leading business and IT practitioners

Why McIntire
"The professors are willing to expand on the technology side; they'll tailor the class depending on the interests and questions that arise. The professors have worked in consulting and other businesses and have real-world, practical knowledge. The program is very intensive. I'm getting even more out of it than I expected."
