Technology Management Area – Bachelor of Science

The 2+2 Technology Management program specifically targets Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) associate-level graduates from technology-related programs and is intended as a "completer" program for associate degree graduates. Students must have graduated with an associate degree from the KCTCS with a technology-related degree. Such associate-level degree programs include: computer aided drafting, electrical/electronics technology, machine tool technology, applied process technology, quality management systems, manufacturing systems technology, surveying and mapping, industrial maintenance technology, wood manufacturing technology, industrial automation technology, industrial chemical technology, instrumentation and process control and civil engineering technology. Students with other technology-related degrees not listed here from KCTCS or other community college systems may petition to qualify under this requirement.

This completer program admits KCTCS graduates who have completed KCTCS general education course requirements.
