Cornell’s Samuel Curtis Johnson College of Business and the Department of Information Science in Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science team up for the Digital Technology Immersion (DTI) program, pairing students from both colleges to work collaboratively on projects for partnering companies like Google, Amazon, McKinsey, Commonbond, Procter & Gamble, IBM, Salesforce and more.

As part of this collaboration, Information Science Master of Professional Studies (MPS) students enrolled in the DTI Project course are paired with MBA students and mentored by an industry representative. Unlike the MPS Project course, not all DTI projects are client-facing; some are a simulated case study project with industry executive guidance and mentorship. The course features weekly meetings to discuss business and management aspects of technology and information science through a series of guest lecturers from the industry, and reserve time to work on projects. Taking this course fulfills the MPS project requirement.

Spring 2025

This year, Spring 2025, the Digital Tech Immersion project (DTI) will focus on tech strategy, and there will be room for about 15 students in the project course. If you are interested in enrolling in DTI, enter your details in this survey by November 2. Note that you won't be able to enroll yourself in NBA 6480; the Johnson Business School registrar manages the enrollment to this course. There is no pre-enrollment or self-enrollment.

If you have any questions about DTI, please contact Prof. Vidur Luthra vl17@cornell.edu.

Course Selection

Students who wish to complete the Digital Tech Immersion for their MPS Project requirement, should enter their details in this survey by November 2. If selected by the Business School, the Johnson School Registrar will enroll you in NBA 6480, Digital Technology Practicum.

In addition, it is recommended that you choose 3 to 6 credits of NBA courses from our list of approved DTI electives. These electives may be taken during the fall or spring semesters. They do not need to be taken simultaneously during the spring semester when the DTI course is offered. This is a recommendation, not a requirement.

Note: 1.5 credit courses are offered over 7 weeks of the semester, in the first half or in the second half of the semester. Check the roster for the course schedule.

Note: Enrollment in courses is subject to seat availability. If a course is over-enrolled, usual waitlist procedures will apply.
