Note: Information provided is for current students only. This program is not accepting new students at this time.
Managers and knowledge workers face the challenges of rapid change, evolving technology and burgeoning information in today’s global economy. This program’s goals are to enable individuals to understand the integration of an enterprise’s processes, as well as how to utilize modern tools, techniques and technologies to make their organization more competitive and profitable. The curriculum introduces the strategic fundamentals of the customer/value driven enterprise, the management concepts of organizational design and structure, and the basic business processes for running a successful enterprise.
The program is offered in conjunction with the Department of Technology and Society and articulates with its MS in Technological Systems Management as well as SPD’s Master of Arts in Liberal Studies. Matriculation in either of these master’s degree programs requires a separate application.
