This fall I am going to be a junior studying Audio Engineering (BS, its technically EE for audio, URochester). I would like to run a company that develops video games (like Mojang or something), creates audio plugins (like Waves, the company) and I work with audio (and programming too) for games. I have learned C/C++, Unreal Engine, and will learn Pure Data (I’ve used it already), CSound, FAUST, Swift, and Fmod and WWISE (which I’ve already used). However, I feel like I’ve not learned enough computer science. I will be applying to MBA schools for certain. I was wondering if there are any MBA schools that let you take computer science classes in stuff like C#, Lua, Lisp, etc. I will use the MBA for management and finance.
I meant to say create and run a company.
The language is the least difficult part of programming. The logic, the cohesion, the data structures, the algorithms, and data flows will make or break you.
You should be able to find an MBA program - or maybe better: MS in engineering management - that will allow you six hours or so of electives and the approve electives sometimes include algorithms and/or data structures.
You don’t mean you plan on applying to MBA programs immediately after getting your BS, do you? An MBA is a degree that requires and builds upon at least several years of work experience. An MBA without work experience is thoroughly useless, and will actively hurt your ability to get a technical position if your goal is to do technical work first. Furthermore, you don’t need an MBA to start your own company–an MBA can help one get into and/or climb the ladder of the management/business side of things at an existing company.
Moreover, if you’re trying to learn programming as part of your MBA, I don’t think you really grasp the purpose of an MBA. You can learn programming on your own time (or take courses independently, not part of a degree program, on your own). But that’s not really the point of an MBA.
What exactly are your goals, specifically?
Sure: the MIT Sloan School is a premier example.
Well, that’s a tad strong, don’t you think? I wouldn’t say that an MBA sans work experience is thoroughly useless: I can think of quite a few people with MBA’s without experience who seem to be doing quite well. Case in point, consider Adam Flake, who obtained an MBA without any work experience whatsoever and yet only 6 short years after graduation already reached the Director level of a major publicly-traded company. I rather doubt that Mr. Flake would be anywhere near that level without that MBA.
