MSTM Accepting Applications through May 1

I’m writing to let you know that the Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM) program will be accepting applications through May 1, 2015 for students wishing to pursue their Master’s degree directly after of their undergraduate program. If you know students who are not sure what their next step will be after graduation, please feel free to make them aware the MSTM program is an option.
 
 
Current MSTM students have various academic and professional backgrounds; however, many of our students are recent graduates with less than two years of professional experience. This one-year degree synergizes business education with a technology focus, providing students with a firm understanding of technology strategy and its role in shaping business decisions. Students learn how to solve problems from a business perspective and hone their business acumen, which will lead to a path of success.
 
I will hold several information sessions around campus in the next month or so (information listed on the MSTM homepage). All students are welcome! Students can also contact me directly if they have questions or would like to meet to talk about the program.
 
Thank you for passing the word along. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
 
Thank you!
