  Admission Requirements

  The Technical Management program accepts applicants who have an undergraduate degree in Engineering or Computer Science.  Students in other science and math (i.e. STEM) fields are also encouraged to apply.  In some cases, prerequisites may be recommended if needed.  Students should have at least one year of industrial experience, research experience, or equivalent. Typically, a minimum undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 is required.  Students with less than 3.0 GPA may submit additional documentation, including relevant extensive work experience, to be reviewed and considered by the director and dean's office.

  Master of Science in Technical Management Degree Requirements (36 credits)

  The Master of Science in Technical Management (MSTM) degree requires 36 credit hours beyond the baccalaureate degree: 15 credit hours in MSTM core courses (under EMGT), six credit hours of Business electives and 15 credit hours in the student’s STEM area of interest. Students must maintain a GPA of at least 3.0. Grades below "C" will not advance the student towards graduation.  At least half of the courses in the program must be selected from those offered only at the graduate level.

  Transfer Credit

  Students without a previous graduate degree may transfer up to six credits from another graduate program. Students with a previous graduate degree that required less then 36 credits may transfer nine credits.  Students with a previous graduate degree that required at least 36 credits may transfer up to 12 credits. Courses only transfer if taken for graduate credit with a grade earned of B (3.0) or higher. The approval of the program chairperson/director/Dean's Office is also required. Other restrictions may apply.
