The Center for High Technology Management (HTM) is dedicated to the advancement of organizations through the use of state-of-the-art technologies, strategies, systems, tools, and techniques. Students graduating with an Option in HTM are expected to have strong skills in some subset of  information systems, operations management, and management science. Typical abilities of an HTM graduate should include: proficiency area such as systems analysis and design, database management, multi-media, information systems, e-commerce, telecommunications management, management science modeling, quality management, supplychain management, and inventory management and control. The Center’s teaching, research, and other services have application in industries such as biotechnology, computer hardware, software and peripherals, telecommunications, manufacturing, defense and aerospace. However, nearly every organization, no matter how traditional or simple the product or service, can benefit form strategic, prudent use of technology.
