The MSTech program with a concentration in global technology and entrepreneurship prepares graduates for entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial roles in global technology-driven organizations. The global technology and entrepreneurship program empowers graduates to become leaders in global, technology-driven organizations through hands-on study and experiential learning of entrepreneurship and innovation, combined with strategic management of technology, decision-making, and systems and process analysis and modeling.
Program graduates serve as enablers in the implementation of their organization's strategy. Graduates will be able to critically assess and solve problems while they contribute to, and utilize knowledge and applied learning experience toward strategic management of technology; entrepreneurship and innovation; strategic adoption and use of technology; analysis and modeling of systems; identification, testing and acceleration of adoption of new business and manufacturing processes; evaluation and adoption of global best practices and utilization of knowledge management techniques. Project-based experiential learning is used in all face-to-face, hybrid and iCourse courses.

Additional Application Information
An applicant whose native language is not English (regardless of current residency) must provide proof of English proficiency.
Applicants are expected to have completed a minimum of 30 credit hours in technology, science and mathematics or their equivalents with a grade "C" (scale is 4.00 = "A") or better in each course, an undergraduate college-level statistics and probability course with a grade of "B" or better, and an undergraduate college-level technical writing and communications course with a grade "B" or better.
