Each theme is supported by learning modules consisting of five to 10 topics. The 10 themes range from managing information technology and technology in the global environment to managing resources and professionals in a technical environment. Because of the program's focus on the global marketplace, the curriculum includes a two-week residency at the Georgia Tech Lorraine campus in Metz, France. We can schedule topics in the order that they're needed, which provides a coherent, logical learning sequence for students. Early in the program, students identify and undertake a technology-based project of interest to them and of importance to their organization.
Students work on their projects under faculty supervision throughout the program.
In addition to offering the Master of Science in Management of Technology degree, the program is designed to help participants become more effective managers and to gain a competitive edge for themselves and for their organizations. Over time, the organization enhances its competitive position as program graduates bring their technical expertise and management skills to bear on important strategic problems. Applications are now being accepted for the first class, which begins in June. A new class will begin each July. There are very few programs like this in the country, and we're the only one in the Southeast.
