University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign

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-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.The Master of Science in Technology Management is focused on understanding how to manage the dynamic environment found in a technology-based enterprise. The curriculum covers core business topics tailored to address the issues and challenges inherent in companies that depend on technology. The course work of this intensive 12-month long program includes product development, marketing, simulation and risk analysis, finance, and strategy, as well as managing processes, intellectual property, innovation, human resources, and an option of an internship or curricular practical training - all focusing on technology. This is an intensive program for those who use, deploy, shape, or create technology.
