Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM)
The Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM) is a part-time program specifically designed for experienced professionals wishing to move to a broader role in technology and business management. The MSTM program focuses on the effective management and use of technology in technology-intensive businesses. It integrates business and technology topics aimed at educating students to manage technology creatively in order to enhance business competitiveness in a global business environment. Students learn general business skills, such as accounting, finance and marketing, along with emphasis on development of technology management skills encompassing technology strategy, emerging technology and corporate entrepreneurship to assure alignment of technology strategy with business strategy.
The MSTM program consists of twelve courses that are completed in six trimesters. The courses are supplemented with workshops and practicums utilizing business simulation tools that reinforce classroom concepts, while providing students with experience running a high-tech company. The Global Business and Markets course also encompasses an international study tour where students travel abroad to countries such as China where they participate in company visits and lectures, as well as some cultural and sightseeing activities, in order to gain first-hand experience and understanding of the unique business culture and context of that country.
Courses are scheduled on alternating Saturdays on the Stevens campus from 8:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. In the final semester, the capstone course requires 5 consecutive Saturday sessions on the Stevens campus. Students complete their MSTM degree in 21 months.
