About the
Program
This interdisciplinary degree program prepares students for
managerial, administrative or consulting positions with technology-based
organizations addressing the social, political, moral and
economic affects of technology. Students may tailor their
programs of study to meet specific educational and employment
objectives.
In particular, M.L.S. students will acquire knowledge of and
facility with:
- Central concepts and issues related to the study of technology
and society;
- Significant technical developments and their effects on
individuals, societies, the environment and the workplace;
- Technological systems and their effects on the quality
of life;
- The integration of information from various sources and
disciplines to solve socio-technical problems; and
- Major tools and methodologies for assessing technology's
impact.
The M.L.S. program in technology promotes flexibility enabling
students to design over one half of the program to suit
specific educational employment objectives. Working students
can pursue a degree, either full time or part time, with
all core courses offered in the evening. Many concentrations
offer business or industrial placement is an option for
the capstone experience. An additional feature of the program
is the opportunity students have to meet practitioners in
business and industry through lectures, seminars and conferences
with outside experts.
