The MMS in Technology Management is for students who wish to cultivate skills and knowledge related to innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology. The curriculum has four components: i) a required internship in the summer before the program’s start, ii) a set of required classes, iii) a set of pre-approved SOM electives, and iv) a distributional requirement in SEAS. In total students are required to take 36 units of course credit where 4 units corresponds to a full-semester course.
