The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Technology Management is an online and/or classroom taught program of study designed to integrate technology, applied engineering, project management, cost engineering, quality, construction management, business management, leadership and design into a variety of business, construction, and industrial careers. Graduates are suited for professional positions where the solving of complex technological problems; management of the environment, processes and workforce; controlling cost and resources; and ensuring a safe and ergonomically correct workplace are essential. Leadership, communication skills, group collaboration, managing and understanding cultural differences, construction, sustainability, increasing value, technological skills and the effective management of current and future global enterprises are emphasized throughout the program. Program graduates are prepared for and encouraged to continue their education after the awarding the Bachelor of Science degree by obtaining the Master of Science degree in Technology Management.
