Updated 2014-2015 Undergraduate Catalog

Technology Management, B.A.S. major

The Technology Management program is designed to prepare individuals to pursue a variety of technology-related management career paths in business or industry. The program is designed specifically for individuals who typically possess a two-year technical degree and are interested in advancing their professional career. The program is a “2+2” degree that permits students to apply their 2 year technical degree credits toward a baccalaureate degree. Coupled with a two-year technical degree providing a focused foundation, students complete junior- and senior-level courses covering a broad range of technology management concepts and applications. This breadth provides maximum flexibility for graduates to pursue diverse employment opportunities. Completion of the degree is available through a web-based distance delivery format. Students should work closely with an advisor to obtain program and course selection information.

Note: Upon approval of the Technological Studies staff, certain major courses can be substituted in the Technical and/or Professional Core from related technical and community college programs.

Note: Transfer students must take a minimum of 30 semester credits from Bemidji State University. Forty (40) upper division semester credits are also required for graduation.
