Preguntas Frecuentes
1.-¿La maestría es presencial o virtual? ¿Qué días y a que hora son las clases?
Esta maestría es presencial y es de tiempo completo dado que el esquema de trabajo es similar
a cuando los estudiantes de medicina hacen su residencia en el hospital. La idea es llevar pocos
cursos en el aula y enfocarnos principalmente al desarrollo de tu idea de negocio generando
prototipos, abriendo mercados, implementando tecnología apoyado por expertos y aprovechando
los múltiples laboratorios del Campus Monterrey.
2.-¿Qué costo tiene la maestría?
Este prostgrado tiene un costo de US37,000.00 por los tres semestres, incluyendo todos los
gastos de estancia, alimentación, viaje, y libros durante el semestre en Babson College, los dos
primeros semestres son en el Campus Monterrey. La cantidad es financiable a tres años al 12%
anual en pesos, o por Babson a tres años a una tasa de interés de prime mas cinco puntos en
dólares.
3.- ¿Cuales son los esquemas de pagos para la colegiatura?
Puede ser en dos, cuatro, seis, hasta 12 pagos. Esto aunado a los esquemas de finaciamiento
Existen dos a 3 años, uno en pesos ofrecido por el Tecnológico a 12% de interés anual sobre
saldos insolutos y otro en dólares ofrecido por Babson a una tasa de interés del prime rate más
3%.
4.- ¿Existen algún apoyo como beca o sofol para poder financiarme los estudios?
Debido a que estamos en etapa de arranque, aun no se han formalizado las becas a las cuales

del programa. A más solicitudes más probabilidades de armar un buen Fondo de Becas – no

EPS7500: Entrepreneurship
Faculty: Julian Lange at Tec in Spring 2007—requirement for all students
Interdisciplinary course that focuses on all aspects of starting a new business, with
emphasis on the critical role of recognizing and creating opportunities. Topics include attributes of
entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial careers, evaluating opportunities, writing business plans, and
financing the venture.
EPS7505: Technology Entrepreneurship
required for all students
In order to be successful in high technology entrepreneurship, there are technologyrelated skills that are necessary beyond traditional business skills and entrepreneurial zeal.
These include managing an array of uncertainties including technology, market, resource and
organizational. The primary objective of this course is to give the student the formalized training
necessary to begin to understand and improve upon their skills in order to understand and
manage these uncertainties.
EPS7510: Financing the Entrepreneurial Venture
required for all students
Focuses on raising seed and growth capital from venture capital, business angels,
investment banking, and commercial banking sources; and financial problems unique to the
small- and medium-sized firm undergoing rapid growth. Examines actual proposals made to
venture capital firms, particularly in terms of their financial viability. Course also examines
financial management for entrepreneurs over the life of a business project. Includes financing
start-ups, financial planning for the nonpublic smaller enterprise, going public, selling out,
bankruptcy, sources of capital, and other related topics.
Students will choose 2 of the following 3 courses:
EPS7520: Managing Growing Businesses
Designed for students who want to manage growing companies in an increasingly
professional manner while still maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit that brought the company to
its current growth position. Also relevant for those who want to manage larger companies to
emphasize innovation and the management of opportunities rather than to concentrate on the
efficient management of ongoing operations. Subject matter is organized around the following
themes: measuring economic performance and obtaining information for management decision
making, management control systems for innovative companies, short- and long-run planning in
owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurship and managing (professional zing) growing
companies.
EPS7515: Leading Change/Growth in Family Firms
This course will explore the distinctive leadership strategies, structures, and skills
required to lead closely-held and family firms through change and growth. Because of the agency
relationship between ownership and management, closely-held and family firms have
idiosyncratic dynamics and strategic challenges when facing change and growth. Leaders and
consultants often overlook or intentionally try to ignore these unique issues with the result being
that their recommendations, strategies, or leadership activities are often less than successful and
at times even destructive.
EPS7574 or MKT7555: Marketing for Entrepreneurs
Exact course description to be determined.
