Technology Management

Overview

The challenges facing managers are increasingly as much about technology as they are about people.

The master's program in Technology Management at Stevens is for part-time students with significant work experience who are able to attend classes every other Saturday.

The program is designed to give you the skills and perspective required to lead in environments where technology is central to the mission — and at a pace that's ideal for professionals. Faculty in this program are particularly distinguished for their corporate experience, and their insights from research and the workplace will prepare you for the challenges of leadership in the digital age.

After completing the program, most students continue for another year to earn an Executive MBA - EMBA, which offers a more comprehensive examination of leadership topics and an international business component that includes a visit to another country. 

Technology emphasis

For those who aspire to lead, it’s not enough to hire the right data scientists to support decision-making. You must be able to confidently challenge those conclusions, recommend new tools and get your hands dirty with the data in evaluating strategic opportunities.
