Master of Science in Technology Management
The College of Science and Technology at North Carolina A&T State University offers a Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM) degree. This program 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; planning, problem solving, and decision-making to improve business performance.
