Master of Intellectual Property, Commerce and Technology (MIPCT)


The Master of Intellectual Property, Commerce, and Technology (MIPCT) was the first of its kind in the U.S. to train intellectual property professionals, administrators, lawyers, engineers, and entrepreneurs from the U.S. and abroad who intend to specialize in the practice of intellectual property and licensing. This interdisciplinary program is designed to provide substantive knowledge and practical skills through coursework internships. The MIPCT has trained patent, trademark, and copyright officials from all over the world.

The MIPCT requires 30 credits in coursework. Six of those credits may be earned through internships. In the past, students have interned with law firms, government agencies, and major corporations, including: Boeing, Coca-Cola, Colgate-Palmolive, Ford Motor, General Electric, IBM, Motorola, Sony Pictures, and Time-Warner.

Attendance at our Intellectual Property Summer Institute in Concord, NH, is included in the tuition for the MIPCT program.

Students may enter the MIPCT program in the Fall or Spring semesters.
