Master of Technology Management (MTM)
Technology Management: Engineering Technology
The BGSU master’s program in technology management with a specialization in engineering technology addresses the industry need for advanced technical managers. Our curriculum combines relevant theory with practical, hands-on knowledge.
You will have opportunities to perform data analysis and synthesis while demonstrating critical skills in project management and leadership. Courses integrate core engineering competencies to solve real-world problems through original research.
You will gain the current engineering technology skills you need to find a technical management position in manufacturing and construction organizations: data analysis, applied research methods, management strategies and green design tools.
Courses are offered online and in person. Students can complete this program online if they select courses carefully. Most master’s students hold a bachelor’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, industrial technology or applied sciences. But we welcome students from other areas as well.
Program highlights
- Flexibility. Some MTM program courses are offered only online. Others are offered in both online and face-to-face formats. Enroll full time or part time. International students are able to select courses that meet USCIS requirements.
