In addition to the normal University admissions requirements, the Technology Management: Technology Management Option has requirements to meet the 34 hours block of credit. Students typically meet this requirement by completing an Associate of Applied Science degree at a regionally accredited institution. This credit will automatically be applied upon submission of the transcripts to the University.  

Otherwise, students can apply for this credit by submitting a portfolio for either  

Option 1.) a recognized national certification or exam and two years of directly related work experience or  

Option 2.) a technical associate degree or certificate from a non-regionally accredited institution. 

The purpose of the portfolio is for potential students to validate that their background and experiences equate to the technical competencies gained from a related Associate of Applied Science degree. For either option, the portfolio shall be submitted to the Department of Engineering and Technology, and the faculty may require additional information if needed.
