Today, it is critically important for the fundamentals of technology to be integrated with skills from other professional disciplines. No longer can business and industry exist without technology, nor can the domains of technology be practiced effectively without comprehension of the surrounding environment.
The Master of Science in Technology degree prepares students to become leaders in technology disciplines. The program allows students to pursue an advanced degree in a specific technology discipline, with the flexibility to pursue interdisciplinary interests and develop leadership skills based on ethics and an understanding of global issues affecting technology.
