Maryland Tech Council and Loyola University Maryland Partner on Continuing Education

Frederick, MD (October 15, 2024) — Through a new partnership between Loyola University Maryland and the Maryland Tech Council (MTC), Loyola will offer MTC members a 15% reduction in tuition on Loyola’s Professional’s MBA and Master of Science in Data Science programs.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Loyola University Maryland to offer our members enhanced access to their graduate-level programs in data science and business studies,” said Kelly Schulz, CEO of the Maryland Tech Council. “As industries increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making and advanced business strategies, this is a unique opportunity for MTC members to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. We believe this collaboration will help foster the next wave of industry leaders in Maryland, equipped with the knowledge needed to solve tomorrow’s challenges.”

Designed for working professionals, Loyola’s Professional’s MBA is a part-time, self-paced program available in both blended and fully online formats. Loyola also designed the Master of Science in Data Science program for working professionals, offering the program fully online both part time or full time.

“The Maryland Tech Council has been an excellent source of innovation for us, and this new partnership allows us to provide MTC’s members with easy access to our graduate programs, which 100% of our alumni recommend to others,” said Mary Ann Scully, MBA ’79, dean of Loyola’s Sellinger School of Business. “It also gives MTC access to the unparalleled business network that Loyola has created over its long history as a top business educator in the state.”

The Maryland Tech Council is the largest technology and life sciences trade association in Maryland with more than 800 member organizations and three chapters across the state.

“I’m grateful to the Maryland Tech Council for entrusting us with the responsibility of offering best-in-class education and training to its members,” said Frank D. Golom, Ph.D., ’04, dean of Loyola College, the University’s school of arts and sciences. “These kinds of partnerships promote lifelong learning, encourage academic-industry collaboration, and facilitate individuals being able to live lives of meaning and impact — all hallmarks of our identity as a liberal arts anchor institution in Baltimore.”

The Maryland Tech Council is a collaborative community that is actively engaged in building strong technology and life science industries by supporting the efforts of our individual members. We are the largest technology and life sciences trade association in the state of Maryland, and we provide value by giving members a forum to learn, share, and connect. MTC brings the region’s community together into a single, united organization that empowers our members to achieve their business goals through advocacy, networking and education. The vision for the Maryland Tech Council is to propel Maryland to become the number one innovation economy for life sciences and technology in the country. (mdtechcouncil.com)
