Program description

The BS program in technological entrepreneurship and management advances the knowledge and practice of entrepreneurship and innovation. To enhance students' understanding of business fundamentals, the Fulton Schools of Engineering have partnered with the W. P. Carey School of Business to offer a degree that is jointly conferred by both colleges. The degree program prepares students to address social and corporate issues to impact and change the world; create, launch and improve technology-based products, services and ventures; and identify and solve open-ended problems using engineering and technological approaches.

Students receive a foundation in both technology and business fundamentals, with an emphasis on technology entrepreneurship and innovation in one of two focus areas: innovation and operation management or social entrepreneurship.

The objectives for this degree program are that students demonstrate the ability to identify, analyze and synthesize information to address and solve use-inspired, open-ended problems, assessing their impact on social, cultural and economic environments; formulate methodologies to advance the knowledge of entrepreneurship and innovation; launch technology-based products and services from idea generation through actualization; use quantitative and qualitative methods to demonstrate continuous improvement of products, services and processes; and utilize a systems approach for the effective design and improvement of entrepreneurial and innovation ventures.
