Program Objective:

In support of this mission, the ETM program aims to

prepare technology graduates who are competent in technical and managerial areas;
provide quantitative and qualitative skills for problem solving;
teach students to use modern computer-based systems;
instill in graduates an understanding of professional, societal, and ethical responsibilities and need for lifelong learning;

The ETM program is an interdisciplinary program leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. There are two options in the program:

The ETM program provides a means for transfer students with a technology degree from a two-year program (A.A.S.) to move to a four-year B.S. degree in approximately two years.

The ETM program faculty have degrees in various emphasis areas of engineering and management and are committed to delivering a technology curriculum that has strong emphasis on technology, management, and engineering analysis and utilization of modern technical tools.

Transfer Credit:

Credits received by transfer for required courses in engineering technology management require a minimum grade of C. Although equivalents will be awarded for D grades, students must retake the courses.

Degree and Accreditation:

ETM program graduates obtain a B.S. degree. The University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The ETM program will seek specific program accreditation from an appropriate agency in the near future.
