The need for managers with more diverse backgrounds is growing. Technical college graduates looking to gain a more diverse background can pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science in Technology Management through a joint program offered in the Twin Cities area by Bemidji State and Metropolitan State Universities. The bachelor's degree is awarded by Bemidji State University.
This program is for students who desire employment in the technical fields of industry; however it is not applicable to a licensure program.
Program Requirements
• General Education (42 credits)
• Technical Courses (26 credits)
• Professional Courses (18 credits)
• Electives (12 credits, or more if necessary to meet total degree requirements of 128 credits)
Students who transfer from a technical college are awarded 26 semester credits toward the technical core courses. Up to 30 additional technical credits could be used to count toward electives.
128 credits are required for graduation and must include 64 credits from a four-year institution; and 30 credits completed through Bemidji State University.
Courses are offered through either independent study or co-hort. A cohort is where you are grouped with other students living in your area to take classes together. Currently cohorts are offered in Minneapolis—St. Paul, Brainerd, Duluth, and Toronto, Canada.
Classes usually run 6 to 7 weeks. Students who maintain a steady schedule of classes can expect to complete the major program within 2 1/2 years.
