Sample Curriculum

EMTM combines core and elective courses to provide both a shared foundation and options for tailoring the curriculum to your own needs and interests.During the first year, students focus on core requirements (10 required courses plus the Emerging Technologies Seminar) and begin to select technology electives based on personal interests. In the second year, students complete their technology requirements (6 courses chosen from a range of technology electives) and 'open' electives (4 courses chosen from both technology and management electives).

The following sample curriculum shows how required and elective courses are paced across the two-year full-time program. Students who attend on a half-time basis typically fulfill core courses and initial technology electives during their first two years. (Electives shown are representative. Several course offerings are available each term.)
