The Master of Science in Technology (MST) is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing partnerships between industry and academia.  It provides an integrated curriculum in technology and leadership.  High-tech companies face significant challenges as they try to maintain an advantage in a global economy that offers great business opportunities.  Achieving and managing the continuous growth of their core technology competencies and product lines are among the challenges that these companies face.  To meet these challenges, managers must possess two sets of competencies: technical knowledge and management skills.  
The MST program can greatly help business and community leaders who are moving into management positions and recognize that advanced technical knowledge must be coupled with strong communication and administrative skills.  The MST program also provides useful tools for managers, business and educational leaders who recognize that an understanding of issues in specific technology fields is critical in maintaining a competitive advantage in a global market.
