Why should I learn to code for my MBA?
Many technology companies are starting to look for candidates who have experience with code, and not just for their technical roles. Having an understanding of the language can provide many benefits for employees across all departments. Communicating with developers, understanding its application to data analysis, and having a general understanding of its role in the modern workplace can help you stand out among applicants. The Mike Ilitch School of Business is one of the major business schools across the country that has implemented coding into their data and analytics courses as part of the MBA.
