Master of Science in Technology Management
The Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM) degree at North Carolina A&T State University is coordinated by the College of Science and Technology and is designed to increase students’ understanding of industrial management challenges in an array of technical areas and to explore effective methods for dealing with accelerated technological change. The Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) defines technology management as the field concerned with the supervision of personnel across the technical spectrum and a wide variety of complex technological systems.
There is an increasing demand for experienced professionals who can play leadership roles involving technology innovation; development and deployment of new technologies across a broad spectrum of industries; and planning, problem-solving and decision-making to improve business performance.
