Business Education with a Technology Focus

The greatest education
occurs when ability,
desire, and experience
are rigorously
challenged.
SHAPE YOUR FUTURE The Technology Management Program meets the management development needs of professionals
who use, deploy, create, or shape technology. The program uniquely grooms graduates for leadership roles in any organization and
provides the technical professional a deeper understanding of business management in order to enhance your performance as a manager.
DISTINGUISH YOURSELF Our focused curriculum emphasizes the development of essential business management
techniques with the role of technology as its common theme. Your business management, analytical problem-solving, and decision
making skills are perfected to ensure your effectiveness as a leader in any organization. The ILLINOIS degree leveraging the universitys
top ranked business and engineering assets gives you a tangible advantage in the technology management space.
CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE The Technology Management Program provides future leaders with new perspectives,
management techniques and strategies to face emerging technologies. Your exposure to the innovative thinking that has defined
ILLINOIS for over a century will create valuable opportunities for growth and networking.
IMMERSE YOURSELF
Our innovative curriculum prepares students to develop,
implement, and excel in utilizing effective strategies for dealing
with the risks and opportunities relevant to business and a
competitive marketplace.
Business courses are focused around the fundamental role
that technology plays, then supplemented with professional
development activities, a two-semester practicum, and a seminar
on the frontiers in technology.
The coursework can be divided into three categories: core business
courses to build a solid business foundation, management of
technology courses specifically designed for our program and
professional development activities.
Core courses build a strong business base found in any graduate
business program. These include foundation courses (e.g. Statistics,
Accountancy) as well as courses in functional areas of business
administration (e.g. Marketing, Organization Design).
Building from this foundation are courses on the management

of technology, which will help you truly master an environment
where innovation, introduction of new products and managing
intellectual property are key success factors. Courses are taught in
eight weeks and semester modules that build upon each other. In
the final semester, students further synthesize their knowledge in
a practicum course where they work on a real world project with a
faculty mentor.
We recognize that simply sitting in a classroom is not enough.
Our coursework is enhanced by a series of seminars, workshops,
corporate visits, and talks by researchers and executives who work
at the cutting edge of technology. With our world class engineering
departments, our program is uniquely able to provide a glimpse of
new technology breakthroughs that are expected to affect business
and society in the next five to twenty years.
