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, supply-chain management, and inventory management and control.
Knowledge
