Technology management degrees prepare students for business and technical success to manage, plan, implement, evaluate, and control technical and organizational resources which create value, innovation, and competitive advantage through engaged learning.
The Bachelor of Science in Technology Management curriculum is designed to prepare individuals for managing people and systems in technology-based industries. Includes instruction in computer applications, general management principles, production and operations management, project management, quality control, safety and health issues, and statistics.
The Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) in Technology is designed for individuals seeking to work in a technical area or who have considerable work experience seeking better upward mobility in their professions.

The technology management department has several smaller programs that offer students entry-level education and prepare them to bring their skills into the workforce in several different industries.
For use in production, HR, IT, and customer service.
To provide entry-level manufacturing technician skills.

"My experience in technology management has been defined by freedom. Even as a freshman I can already start working into the higher-level classes and learn where I fit in the vast window that technology management covers. I was able to go on a tour with Adobe and they summed up technology management in a simple way. They taught me that technology management is the ability to translate between the engineer and the business man. "
Braxton Todd, Technology Management Program
"Like UVU itself, the technology management program has grown since I joined UVU in the fall of 2016, including a new master’s program in engineering and technology management. Despite the growth, the program has always worked hard to remain both academically rigorous and relevant to the needs of our students, local industry, and our service area. Key data points like graduate employment, graduate salaries, and industry interest indicate that we are doing something right. In the age of the growing importance of advanced technologies like advanced manufacturing, autonomous technologies, and AI, technology management is the place to be!"
