Technology Management Certificate

The importance of management in a technical environment is a core concept of the Technology Management Certificate Program. Technical is defined to be much broader than computer information systems and technology. It includes engineering, pharmaceutical, chemical, and other technical enterprises. The program and its faculty and staff are dedicated to the linkage of technical and business cultures as integrated functions of the technology-based organization and to the creation and maintenance of an innovative environment for management of change throughout the creation-to-application spectrum of technology development.

Students who enter the Technology Management Certificate Program are working professionals who have responsibilities in a wide variety of technical, business, management, and support functions of the technology-based enterprise. Shared learning objectives will benefit participants engaged in every area of the organization, which is involved in the generation, implementation, or impact of technological change. Students are immersed in a variety of educational and experiential activities that challenge them to view technology management as an integrated system of technical, business, and social inputs, and to examine opportunities within their professional environment to assume the role of systems integrator.
