Technology and Management

What you'll learn with a Technology and Management Degree

This program builds on a core of career and technical education (CTE) courses, and adds management, information technology, and general education courses for a combination of technical skills with professional skills. Technology and Management provides opportunities for graduates to move into supervisory and management positions in public, private, and non-profit organizations, which all have a growing need for technical professionals who can contribute to and lead innovation in processes, strategies, products, and services.

Students in this program embed in subjects of immediate relevance to the workplace, including communication, marketing, organizational behavior, leadership, lean management, accounting, information technology, and project management.

This unique BAS degree program is designed for the student who has earned a technical associate of science degree (AS) or an associate of applied science degree (AAS) and is seeking the skills necessary for career growth.

Up to one-third of the credits required for this degree are transferred from the technical courses taken as part of the AS or AAS degree.
