WHY EmTech?
The Emerging Technologies M.S. is ideal for technology managers, analysts, researchers,
developers, marketers, planners, procurement specialists, educators, journalists, regulators,
and others seeking to improve their disruptive technology foresight, innovation, and strategy
expertise.
Here are ten reasons you should consider EmTech:
-
EmTech is the only technology foresight, innovation, and strategy (FIS) masters degree
in the world. (See Singularity University for a non-degree granting program with a
similar disruptive technology FIS focus).
-
Top industry technology FIS academics and industry practitioners will teach you tools
and techniques in disruptive technology foresight, innovation, and strategy.
-
You will do a practical thesis, either solving an important technology foresight problem
for an industry client (with an optional internship), or launching a new innovation venture
as an intrapreneur or entrepreneur.
-
You will work hard to gain current strategic insight and a five to ten year foresight
horizon for technologies most likely to create opportunities and risks in your industry,
for the client or application of your choice.
-
You will benefit from UAT’s tech, maker, geek, and innovation culture and networks, since
1983. Join a growing network of EmTech foresight professionals, innovators, and strategists.
-
You will take a balanced load of two courses per semester, one in the Technology track,
one in the Methods and Thesis track. The program may be started in Spring, Summer, or Fall
(three starts per year).
-
Each EmTech course is offered on campus and online. Participate in person, live online,
or asynchronously online, as best fits your schedule. Most take EmTech courses online,
while working full-time.
-
You will further your professional development: see what’s next, publish articles, present
at conferences, build things, gain teamwork and leadership skills, advance your personal
brand.
-
An optional industry forecasting certificate exam, Certified Professional Forecaster,
may be taken at the end of Year 1 or Year 2 for additional professional distinction.
-
If you are seeking disruptive technology foresight, innovation, and strategy education,
EmTech provides the greatest focus and best return on investment of any program you might
consider. Do the comparison!
