Candid conversations with chief executives in a speaker series were just one of the many unique opportunities campus alumnus Michael Li was able to experience through UC Berkeley’s Management, Entrepreneurship & Technology, or M.E.T., program. The M.E.T. program, founded in 2017, celebrated its first class of graduates this spring. The cohort of nearly 50 students in the dual-degree program earned degrees in business and engineering, and the entire process was completed in four years. According to Saikat Chaudhuri, faculty director of the M.E.T. program, students who are equally knowledgeable in technology and business can make smarter decisions that take both technological capabilities and economic sustainability into account.
