The one-year, STEM-designated Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM) degree from Gies College of Business prepares you for a future in supply chain, marketing, consulting, or data analytics. This is a general management degree with a focus on innovation from the Department of Business Administration—it is not a technical degree.
This program tailors to two groups of students: those who have a few years of professional experience, and those who recently finished their undergraduate education. As such, the MSTM is for those who want to distinguish and challenge themselves. Our innovative curriculum is designed with a dual purpose: to elevate the strategic acumen and management expertise of scientists and engineers, and to amplify business leaders’ analytical decision-making skills.
Classes start in June (summer) and August (fall) each year.
The MSTM program is primarily designed for students with a bachelor's degree in business, engineering or other technical fields.
