UNHM to offer technology master’s program

The University of New Hampshire’s Whittemore School of Business and Economics will begin offering a master’s of science in the management of technology at UNH Manchester in January. UNH said the degree is designed for those already in a technical field who want to manage sophisticated high-tech projects.“What project management has in common is that each project is unique, with its own set of goals and objectives and associated challenges that require creative teamwork and solutions to meet time and budget constraints,” said Christine Shea, associate dean of graduate programs and research at the Whittemore School. “In this program, students will learn, discuss, analyze and develop skills and tools that can be used from day one to improve their ability to lead successful projects.” The 12-course program was previously offered through a special partnership with BAE Systems for its managers as well as at the university’s business school in Seoul, South Korea.Courses will be offered in the evening at UNH Manchester beginning in January 2011. The deadline for program scholarships is Nov. 1.
