About Technology Management
Technology Management is a multidisciplinary field of science that examines the opportunities and challenges of technological innovation, industry disruption, and organizational change, and their influence on business performance and competitive advantage. UCSB Technology Management students explore the world of work through research-based, theoretical, and experiential learning and one or more academic pathways: Ph.D. in Technology Management, Master of Technology Management, New Venture Program and Competition, and UC-recognized Undergraduate Certificate in Technology Management and Graduate Program in Management Practice (GPMP Certificate). Technology Management's New Venture Program engages motivated students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and across academic disciplines to pursue entrepreneurial education alongside their current studies. Through hands-on instruction and industry mentorship, students learn to create and launch a startup business. For more information go to: tmp.ucsb.edu/new-venture
