EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES (MS)

ANTICIPATING, INNOVATING, AND SHAPING THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY

Emerging Technologies (EmTech) is a technology foresight, innovation, and strategy degree, focused on foreseeing, creating, and managing rapidly changing and emerging technology products and services. It is ideal for creative, practical, and solution-oriented professionals seeking to anticipate, shape, and take advantage of current advances and coming developments in any of six accelerating, global, and world changing technology clusters:

Information Technologies, AI and Robotics
Physical Sciences, Engineering and Nanotech
Energy, Resources, and Greentech
Biotech, Medicine and Enhancement
Social, Economic and Political Technologies
Military, Security, and Transparency Technologies

The EmTech curriculum provides basic literacy across these exciting and transformative technology clusters, teaches well-respected technology foresight and innovation methods, and improves strategy via business cases and your thesis. You will learn how to identify, forecast, and assess emerging technology opportunities and threats, to assess and improve your organization’s innovation practice and culture, and to bring foresight to business strategy and planning teams. Do you have a technology, business, or humanities background? A desire to learn technology foresight, innovation, and strategy methods to address global challenges or advance your organization? EmTech is your degree.

You will gain professional forecasting expertise, demonstrate foresight and innovation competencies in those industry technologies most applicable to a particular client or industry, and engage in a foresight or innovation intrapreneurship or entrepreneurship project in your thesis. You will also be encouraged to do an optional client internship during your thesis, and to take an optional industry forecasting certificate exam during or after the program. EmTech graduates are ready to work in technology foresight, innovation, or strategy roles in the following client types: startup, corporate, consulting, nonprofit, journalism, education, government, military, security, assessment, policy, and other organizations.
