Educational Programs
Undergraduate Program
The Department of Technology Management offers a Bachelor of Science in Business and Technology Management (BTM) . This program prepares students to be nextgeneration managers in fields dominated by technological innovation and especially the rapid advancement of information technology and other fields in the applied science and engineering disciplines. Students completing the BTM Program are prepared to succeed in positions such as technology project leaders, technology savvy entrepreneurs, technology and IT analysts, customer-relationship managers and in other cross-functional roles, and developers of business innovations in financial services and other professional services fields.
Minor in Management
Undergraduate students may obtain a Management Minor by completing 14 credits of undergraduate management courses. An overall GPA of at least 2.0 must be maintained. At least 8 of the 14 credits must be taken by students while enrolled at Polytechnic.
Graduate and Certificate Programs
The department offers a portfolio of redesigned and modernized educational programs, all dealing with the broad spectrum of innovation, technology management and entrepreneurship in the modern economy, and the department’s graduate programs attract a wide range of students and professionals. This is because all managers should understand how technology and innovation management and entrepreneurship are essential for delivering value to organizations and to the market.
The department offers several graduate and professional programs, two of which are earned in executive management format (meeting every other week on Thursday evening and all day Saturday) and four of which are offered on weekday evenings. One program is offered in both formats.
The department’s graduate and professional programs include:
Students may pursue the MOT, MSM and MS-OB programs either part time or full time with an evening schedule. Each has concentrations that allow students to specialize in selected areas.
The department also offers advanced graduate certificates from the MSM and MS-OB Programs, which consist of sequences of courses leading to advanced knowledge in a desired area of specialization.
Graduate Programs
We encourage and welcome prospective students to apply to our other thriving and innovative graduate programs: the Management of Technology (MOT) and Information Management (IM) Executive Master’s programs, the Master’s of Science—Management (MSM) and the Master’s of Science—Organization Behavior (MS-OB). Further information on these programs can be found on the department’s website.
Doctor of Philosophy in Technology Management
Modern technologies increasingly and profoundly affect the management of products, services, processes, organizational forms, business models, the shape of industry structures and modern business environments, the available kinds of technology-enabled innovation and the capability of integrating technology and management—all aimed at creating value for customers and organizations. The ability to conduct research on and to educate about the managerial implications of such topics— all composing technology management—is a highly sought-after and important arena for business scholarship and education. The PhD in Technology Management provides this increasingly significant set of scholarly and educational opportunities.
This degree program is for research-oriented students. Both full-time and part-time students are accepted. Admission criteria include academic record, professional experience, research potential, GMAT or GRE scores, references and a writing sample.
Please visit the program’s website for more information.
All management undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as certificate programs, are further described in this catalog.
Student Professional Societies, Associations and Organizations
The Management of Technology and the Information Management Executive Programs Alumni Association actively seek to continue and expand shared professional experience gained during and after the programs. Members meet face to face or electronically to share insights obtained in their work experiences and to debate issues broadly relevant to technology management.
The Organizational Behavior Program sponsors an award-winning student chapter of the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). The PolySHRM chapter was selected as one of the top 10 in the country by national SHRM. PolySHRM sponsors forums with experts and provides opportunities for professional networking and mentoring to enhance a student’s education and career.
The student club associated with the Bachelor of Science in Business and Technology Management degree program is a strong and valued component of the social fabric of undergraduate life at Polytechnic. This organization works to create professional knowledge and opportunities for members.
Departmental representatives are available for student advising at all NYU-Poly campuses — Brooklyn, Long Island and Westchester— and at the Manhattan location.
Extension in Israel
The Department of Technology Management offers the Master of Science in Management (MSM) as well as in Organizational Behavior (OB) at its extension in Israel. The Polytechnic Israel extension program was initiated in 1997 by Polytechnic Management Professor Harold Kaufman to fill a local demand for managerial expertise.
The programs are identical to the evening curricula in New York and offer selected concentrations specifically for professionals and managers working in Israeli business and industry. The program brings cutting-edge technology management approaches taught by Polytechnic professors together with Israeli faculty to address the advanced state of technology in Israel.
For further information about the extension in Israel, contact Academic Director Harold Kaufman at (718) 260-3485 in New York or by e-mail at hkaufman@poly.edu.
