Industrial Technology Degree Program

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology

Major code BS7256

Industrial technology is the study of materials, production processes, and management procedures used in manufacturing products. This degree program prepares you for a technical/management position in the manufacturing industry. Typically, an industrial technology graduate is responsible for management and supervision of industrial materials, machines, personnel, and capital in areas of production, process planning, maintenance, and quality assurance.

The industrial technology program prepares you to be a technical generalist: one who knows about a wide range of technical subjects. In addition, since most industrial technology courses are hands-on lab courses, you graduate with practical experience. The degree includes a minor in business.

There are four components to the curriculum. Each component contributes a valuable part to your overall preparation for employment. A minimum of 196 quarter hours is required for graduation, including the following specific requirements.
