BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
TECHNOLOGY STUDIES DEGREE
Master the Broad Scope of Technology and Its Evolution
The Technology Studies program draws from a foundation designed to guide students
through key aspects of the history and application of technology in the context of
entrepreneurship, management and innovation. Technology Studies students gain competitive
lifelong skills in strategic thinking, information analysis, presentation, and modern
marketing. Students gain literacy in a variety of technologies in social contexts,
to scan for and report on technological change, and to evaluate disruptive and emerging
technologies with respect to often-conflicting values, agendas and policy proposals.
Students are challenged to find their own creative visions with respect to technological
innovation, management, marketing and entrepreneurship. Many paths are possible through
this degree resulting in professionals capable of building strategic, entrepreneurial,
policy, and/or foresight competencies per the student’s preference. In turn, the degree
is a foundation for a wide variety of careers, including marketing, management and
entrepreneurial positions.
